Visual And Performing Arts Preschool Residencies (3 To 5 Year Olds)

Arts for Learning’s artist residencies at early learning centers reinforce school readiness skills for three to five year old children of all abilities.

The 16-session residencies incorporate hands-on arts lessons to support children’s development of social, emotional, cognitive, language, and fine and gross motor skills.

Led by Arts for Learning’s professional visual and performing artists, the artist residencies may be implemented in the fall, spring or summer, over a four or eight week period.

A key component of the artist residency is the in-class training and support of the classroom teacher. Throughout the residency, the artist works with the teacher to lead different learning experiences.

This real-time coaching helps build teacher capacity to incorporate the arts into regular instruction and classroom management beyond the artist visits.
