Most recently\, it was an outdoor art walk around the VNS property.  \nWe are thrilled to be showcasing the children’s artwork at Fivesparks this year. We hope you enjoy viewing this amazing work created by our 2-5 year old students. \nOpen to the public Tuesday-Thursday\, May 14-16 during Fivesparks Open Hours (10am-4pm).  URL:https://www.fivesparks.org/event/village-nursery-school-childrens-art-show/2024-05-15/ LOCATION:Fivesparks\, 7 Fairbank Street\, Harvard\, MA\, 01451\, United States CATEGORIES:adults,exhibit,kids ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.fivesparks.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/VNS.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240516T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240516T160000 DTSTAMP:20240515T232722 CREATED:20240429T170054Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240429T170054Z UID:10002095-1715853600-1715875200@www.fivesparks.org SUMMARY:Village Nursery School - Children's Art Show DESCRIPTION:Village Nursery School (VNS)\, located in Harvard\, MA\, is a small\, private\, non-profit preschool educating children ages 2-5.  We focus on a child-centered approach and plan our curriculum around literature and children’s books.  Teachers thoughtfully plan their art projects from the inspiration they get from the wonderful books their classrooms focus on. \nVNS has a long standing tradition of displaying the artwork that the students create throughout the year.  This art show has evolved over the years\, first beginning with a famous artist unit in a pre-k classroom.  It soon became a school-wide event with all the classrooms displaying artwork for families to see.
