SCHOOL &  FAMILY PROGRAMS

In 2020, with funding from the Turrell Foundation, Studio Institute trained a roster of local professional artists to support a pre-K partnership program in Newark.

In collaboration with local partner, La Casa de Don Pedro, we launched an Early Childhood program in Newark at three Head Start sites.

This year, our partnership has expanded to include seven sites: two Early Head Start programs serving children from 1-1/2 to 3-years of age, and five Head Start programs serving children from age 3 to 4-1/2.
