About the Instructor
My name is Michiko Fukushima
Art educator, Montessori teacher, and visiting university professor
Learn from an experienced art educator and Montessori teacher
I am an art educator who has spent many years working with children through creative activities.
I hold a Montessori teaching qualification and currently serve as a visiting professor at a university. I also run an art studio where children explore creativity through hands-on art experiences.
Through my work with children and families, I have seen how powerful creative activities can be. When children are given the freedom to explore materials and express their ideas, they naturally develop curiosity, confidence, and imagination.
This course was created to help parents support their children’s creativity at home through meaningful art experiences.
