Les Petits Painters translates to “little painters.” The name takes inspiration from the French who have a rich, artistic cultural heritage. Likewise, we want kids to be ready to paint their world!
Les Petits Painters aims to nurture the artistic talent in your children through thoughtfully designed art classes.
We carefully plan our approach to art lessons. We start the class by reading books and observing pictures. Hence, we begin by stimulating the imagination. All topics are taught in an age-appropriate manner. The topics can be about animals, culture, our environment, seasons of the year, or art history. Then, the children will draw, paint, or craft what they learned and process it into an art piece.
Our art sessions encourage a lot of experimentation and creative thinking, allowing the kids to discover and try new things in a nurturing environment. Above all, they are free to express their personality in their work.

Testimonials and Feedback –
“Teresa is one of the best art teachers. She focusses on the child’s creativity and also shows them how famous artists saw art. She also helps us as parents understand how these artists viewed and brought different styles. My daughter, Sharanya, loves going to the classes and loves painting. We are thoroughly enjoying the classes 🙂 Teresa is helping children even during Covid19 lockdown through her regular mail and artwork. Thanks for being so wonderful. Highly recommend Les Petits!” — Padma, mum of 7 yr old Sharanya

“It was fantastic. Hannah said it looked hard but it was easy as you were explaining it. She also enjoyed painting a unicorn as she had never painted a unicorn before. Annabelle said that she really enjoyed doing the sky (blending colours). All the kids had a great time! They were engaged the whole time. Great experience and very worthwhile!” — Debbie, mum of Hannah, 5 yrs and Annabelle, 7 yrs at their joint art birthday party.

Painting and art classes at a young age stimulates minds and satisfies the brain’s natural desire to learn. Most certainly, art contributes to joy and happiness.
Curiosity is strongest during early childhood. When kids are curious, their minds are open to absorbing new knowledge, understanding things around them, and learning new skills. Curiousity encourages kids to keep learning throughout their lives. It is found to be a core ability in successful kids.
At Les Petits Painters, we introduce carefully designed painting lessons with skills learning for your children.
Art influences the overall well-being of a child, whether these skills are cognitive, language-based, physical, or emotional. The experience of using their imagination, senses, and thought process through “play” to ultimately create something they make themselves brings a lot of enjoyment, and promotes self-esteem and positive feelings.
Kids explore, discover, and learn by using various art materials, not just a paintbrush. They will experiment with colours, shapes, and textures using traditional and nontraditional art tools.
Kids learn so many more valuable life skills through art. Art boosts their self-confidence, hones problem-solving abilities and critical thinking, practises their observation skills, and so much more!
Art also allows kids to express their feelings and thoughts in a nonverbal way.
Notice how time seems to stand still when a child starts doing art?
