Working directly with practising artists, the Centre will present three themes a year and around each theme, build a series of creative open-ended artistic experiences, incorporating participative opportunities, custom-built installations and technology.
From now till 3 April 2016, the Centre launches with The Art of Speed.
Children can explore the essence of speed through multi-sensory and open-ended environments which brings joy to the children, without restricting and constraining them.
The Dark Room - explore light and dark, image and shadow. This is the space that D enjoyed the most. He was so intrigued by the shadows and how light changes the way some shadows were formed.

The space at Playeum. With a maximum capacity of 150 people, both adults and children at one time, it is not an indoor playground with lots of space to run about. But it is a space where children are allowed to be creative, a place for their imagination to flow.
Children are encouraged to build their own cars for their own track experience.
There is a flight of stairs to reach the ramp shown above which E tripped and fell at. Thus, parents with younger children, please take note as children being children, they may miss their steps or accidentally knock down small children when they rush to pick up their own cars after sending them down the ramp. The staff at Playeum were quick to offer ice pack for the bruise and a lollipop to calm E down. E was up and playing again after a couple of minutes.
Feeling creative or have children who likes to DIY? The Play Maker Space is the area to be at! With a variety of material and tools to choose from, this space allows for meaningful experimentation where children and adults together can build objects related to the theme of speed and try them out in the other spaces. Like, rolling the creation down the ramp!
A space for the littlest ones. Cushioned floorings and toys suitable for the young ones who are not exactly ready to experiment the other spaces.
And so, The Children's Centre for Creativity is indeed suitable for children aged 1 to 12.
The boys had fun at the Centre. Not your usual kind of playground, and neither is it an enrichment centre, you will be surprised at the kind of creations the children can come up with.
