• Knowledge of developmentally appropriate practices, especially related to fine motor skills and sensory learning.
• Ability to create an inclusive and encouraging environment for children with diverse learning needs.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Creative, patient, responsible, and enthusiastic about nurturing young artists.
