Start your new year with a fun day of learning. CMOM will be open on New Year's Day. Please note: We will close at 1 p.m. on Friday, January 2, due to the large crowds for the Liberty Bowl game.

ARTivities • Program

Channel your inner Michelangelo.

Explore fine arts, crafts and innovative activities.

ARTivities

Our Art and Innovation Lab is stocked with everything from clay to paints to pastels to help your child explore the world of art. When children delve into art, they are not just painting a picture or creating a sculpture; they are developing skills that will help them in other areas of their lives, including spatial reasoning, perspective and dimension.
