Tada! Creative Adventures with Jill Postema: Welcome!

Wednesday, October 13, 2010

Welcome!

I love the creativity of kids! The way they express themselves though art projects and drama games makes my heart smile. I created Tada! Creative Adventures so I could bring art, stories and theater to life in elementary school classrooms.

I am a professional artist and actor with over ten years of teaching experience, current PA teaching certification and Wilmington district clearances.

Please check out my fall offerings and let me know if I can bring an adventure to you and your kids.

Cheers,
Jill
