SCHOOL &  FAMILY PROGRAMS

Thanks to the support of the Turrell Foundation, we trained a roster of local professional artists to support a pre-K partnership program in Newark. In collaboration with our partner, La Casa de Don Pedro, we are developing an exploration-based visual arts curriculum for two-year-olds for their new infant and toddler site along with aligned professional learning for teachers and assistant teachers.

We are working with La Casa de Don Pedro to expand professional learning programs and family workshops via Zoom and are looking forward to offering professional learning services to other early childhood programs in 2021.
