What is Color Wheel ?
Color Wheel is a children's art
studio offering pre-school, after
school and summer programs to
meet the child care needs of
Decatur's creative families.
At Color Wheel, we believe that
through the arts children can
explore individuality and develop
high self esteem. Working
individually and in collaboration
with other children, each child
learns to express and expand
his/her vision of the world.
Housed in a converted craftsman
bungalow on Church Street in
downtown Decatur, we offer a safe,
homelike environment in a
child-sized art studio. Here, each
Color Wheel kid becomes part of
a young artists community who
paint, sculpt, make pottery, play
music, perform theater and many
other exciting projects. This
community works and plays
together, watching each other
learn and grow into strong, free
thinking individuals.
The members of the Color Wheel
staff are trained artists as well
as child care professionals.
Each staff member brings to
Color Wheel a love for working
with children, unique artistic talent,
and a solid background in the child
care industry.

celebrate ourselves in this moment and strengthen for the
years to come.
