All Education

Design Elementary is a creative education company dedicated to introducing children to the world of graphic design at an early age. Rooted in the belief that creativity is a foundational skill, Design Elementary provides engaging, age-appropriate learning experiences that empower children to think critically, solve problems, and express themselves visually.

Through interactive workbooks, digital lessons, hands-on workshops, and accessible resources for educators and parents, Design Elementary bridges the gap between traditional education and creative exploration. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed for young learners, breaking down complex design concepts, such as color, typography, and composition, into simple, exciting, and practical lessons that children can immediately apply.

At its core, Design Elementary is more than a program; it is a movement to cultivate confident, imaginative thinkers who see themselves as creators and innovators. By creating opportunities for children to learn, create, and build, Design Elementary is shaping a generation that understands the power of design in everyday life.

This is where Education meets Design.

My name is Eva Beau and I am a Norwalk native. I have been teaching American Sign
Language 101 to elementary school students for four years. I was introduced to ASL
over 10 years ago and it has become my passion. In 2022, I enrolled in the American
School for the Death, the first School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut, founded in
1817. I was recently joined the staff at Horizons Summer Camp and City of Norwalk
Summer Camp as well as ASL 101 for adult learners offered by the Parks and
Recreation Department.
Why ASL? I am hearing and believe hearing people should learn ASL. This language
skill will promote communication, understanding and a greater awareness and
sensitivity between the hearing and the deaf communities. Students will develop an
appreciation for Deaf culture as a result of being exposed to ASL classes. Leading to
inclusivity and respect for individuals who are deaf or hearing impaired.
I combine interesting and interactive activities that help build confidence and make
learning fun! Miss Eva’s Etiquette Classes help children practice and reinforce the manners they learn at home. The goal is to teach young people respectful social skills so they can thrive with confidence in today’s world. While times may change, the principles of good manners remain constant. My program uses an interactive and entertaining approach to build social and communication skills that help children present themselves with confidence. Through fun games, engaging activities, and social dancing, kids learn modern etiquette while gaining the tools to reduce social anxiety and grow into poised young adults.
