What if nurturing your child's creativity could unlock a world of endless possibilities? Join us as we sit down with Faigie Kobre, a distinguished educator and artist, to explore the transformative power of art in early childhood education and homeschooling. From her teaching roots at Bank Street College to her unexpected pivot into high-end portrait photography, Faigie's journey is both inspiring and enlightening. We delve into her creation of the Preschool Art Seminar in a Box, her engaging workshops, and her popular website dedicated to children's art. Discover how she now focuses on adult creativity, mixed media art, and her latest venture—an online professional development platform for preschools.

In this enriching conversation, we highlight the critical importance of allowing children to progress through their developmental stages naturally through art. Faigie shares heartwarming stories, like a young boy from Egypt who flourished when given the freedom to explore his artistic abilities, and practical advice for setting up creative spaces at home. Whether you are a homeschooling parent or an educator, you’ll gain valuable insights on incorporating open-ended art activities that foster creativity and problem-solving skills in children. Don’t miss the array of resources and courses recommended by Faigie, including her own site eduart4kids.com, to support your homeschooling journey and beyond.
