Arts Education for Children

Inspire imagination and exploration through the arts.

Arts education changes the way children connect with the world around them and sets the stage for a lifetime of joyful learning. Our programs promote growth in main areas of child development: cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and language. They also create space for children to explore, think critically, and make creative choices.

“My son loved the song welcoming everyone. We thought he was a bit young, but this sealed the deal to make sure we didn’t miss out on these events in the future! It is a memory my family will have forever.”
