Philosophy
Northwest Fine Arts Academy is an arts-based, developmental program that focuses on the whole child using three major preschool domains: Social/emotional, physical and cognitive development. We feel it is important to lay the foundation of learning. Shapes, colors, letter recognition and sounds, numbers, healthy social skills, and self-problem solving are all a part of our daily practices. Our students not only learn academics, they engage in creative play, music, movement, hands on-art learning, and much more! We believe each child learns differently and encourage a self-paced learning experience. Providing a positive, safe and encouraging environment for your Preschool to Kindergarten age child is our first priority.
Location
Conveniently located in Rathdrum ID, we are near the heart of the city and multiple parks. We are near some of our local elementary schools, and our middle and high school. We are nestled inside of Dance Theatre Northwest.
