Dear SCP Friends,

After five energy-packed, magical and wondrous years we will be changing our creative enrichment programs and schedules. With growth, organizational and financial changes, and a desire to continue to evolve our mission we will be discontinuing our weekly creative play classes known as Bambini, Tutto, Villaggio and Pezzotanto Studio, and beginning a new program known as Mondo Amico Studio in connection with a new SCP initiative known as Art Hub Global.

Art Hub Global (AHG) will provide our community of parents and children a unique and special opportunity to connect with our world neighbors through art and creativity. The exciting, new Mondo Amico experience will offer a daily opportunity to meet together in the later afternoon. In this creative environment, Mondo Amico participants will continue to attend enrichment activities in art, music, and tactile and imaginative play with a focus on discovering and learning more about the Earth and many global cultures.

Due to growth and expansion, the morning through early afternoon hours of the Studio will now be solely occupied by Venni Studio, our extended hour preschool and pre-k creative enrichment program for three and four-year olds. Tutto, Bambini, and Pezzotanto programs will be offered on a Studio calendar of monthly parent-and-child weekend workshops.

As the founder and director of SCP, the last four and a half years with you have been a large and inimitable gift to my life as an artist and educator. There has been nothing more precious than growing with you and your children as we explore the language and art of play. As I now also enjoy the largest life blessing of parenthood, it is a perfect time for these organizational changes that include a broader connection with our extended community, and children and parents around the world. You are the inspiration behind our growth and new vision.

I hope that you will continue to be with SCP and me as we embark upon a new, big time in which we embrace and create together around the world. Please read more on Mondo Amico Studio, Art Hub Global, fall 2009 enrollment, and our mission. To support our mission please pass this information on to friends everywhere on Earth who may be interested in participating in the new program. At Art Hub Global there is room for everybody.

Warmest Regards,
Khahtee
