Educators often find themselves unprepared to delve into realms such as music appreciation, crafts, and artistic aesthetics due to the constrained scope within their academic curriculum.
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” – Pablo Picasso

Founders

The multisensory educational experiences found in Pikitin's programs and resources support various domains of early-age learning
