Our Approach
Our work is guided by a child-centered, nurturing approach that prioritizes emotional safety and connection.
Programs at Big Bear Community Therapeutic Arts Center are:
Hands-on and experiential, encouraging exploration and imagination
Emotionally supportive, fostering calm, trust, and belonging
Process-focused, emphasizing expression over outcomes
We intentionally create welcoming environments where children feel free to explore creativity without pressure, judgment, or expectation.
