A Glimpse of Wee

Testimonials

  • ANCA POP

    “I embarked on the incredibly rewarding journey of being a small business owner five years ago. I am a physician. At the time I felt the need to expand my activities in other industries. I picked Wee Little Arts because it effectively combined two fields I am deeply passionate about: education and arts. I felt that the curriculum that Melissa Bradshaw provided and her preschool art teaching approach was truly innovative. I also felt that in order to develop as a small business owner, the new skills that I constantly had to learn in order to run the business could not be taught by any manuals or other type of courses. I had to “jump in” and learn by doing. Purchasing a franchise was the easiest way for me to get introduced to this world. The WLA product was great and as a result the business continues to grow every year.”

  • Marie Johnson

    “If you love children and want to make a difference in their lives and at the same time have a rewarding career WLA is your answer. From the moment you meet with Melissa and feel her energy and passion for WLA you realize you have found something very special. ”

  • Aimée Valiquette

    “I will never forget the first week of working for WLA. Driving home after finishing a class, I felt such a joy I had not known at any other occupation. Melissa is a delight to work with! Not only has she provided the teachers with all the support and tools they need to create a successful classroom experience, she is always at the ready to encourage and help in any way possible. It is amazing to watch the progress of the students in her program–they are discovering how art can enrich, something that they can enjoy for a lifetime!”

The Founder

Melissa Bradshaw, an experienced elementary teacher with a degree in Arts Education, developed Wee Little Arts in response to a need she saw as a teacher for early childhood arts education.

 

Melissa realized that the students in her elementary school classrooms had been under-served in the development of fine motor skills, critical thinking skills and creativity that early art education encourages.

 

Wee Little Arts is a process-oriented approach to preschool arts education that has been overwhelmingly successful in engaging and empowering children by helping them discover the creative process. Wee Little Arts is a method of releasing the natural creativity of young children through the use of mixed-media, drawing, painting and three dimensions.
