At Sunshine at Happy Hearts Learning Center, we believe that art is an essential part of a child's education. Our program provides children ages 2 through 5 with opportunities to explore their creativity through various forms of art, including painting, drawing, and sculpting. Our teachers encourage children to express themselves through their art and use it as a tool for learning.

Our curriculum is guided by the Rhode Island Early Learning and Development Standards 2023. These standards articulate shared expectations for what young children should know and be able to do. The standards have been derived from the latest research in early childhood development. They include nine domains of learning as referenced above. For more information, please visit their website
