Berço das Artes (The Cradle of Arts)
It is the main program of the SAMP arts school, in Pousos, Leiria. It started in 1992 and it offers weekly classes for children from 0 to 6 years. The first of the 7 levels is for children from 0 to 6 months, and the last one for children of 6-7 years. In an environment where the sharing of affections and emotions extends to the family and the group, the project seeks a balanced development of the expressive skills of each child, through music, dance and theater. It is today a national and international reference of artistic education, and the number of Portuguese and international schools that use it is increasing.
Main Goal
To give babies – in their relationship with their parents, other babies and other adults – a regular guided experience with artistic and expressive experiences led by music, dance, and theatre.
