DiAE is strengthening early childhood education in Delaware through arts integration! Please support our Delaware Wolf Trap early childhood program this year. DWT is a partnership between a teaching artist and an early childhood educator to provide professional development for teachers in the classroom, while engaging children in music, dance, and imaginative play.
Research supports arts integration as a best practice to positively develop well-being, academic progress, and active engagement of students. Participating in arts integration residencies allows teachers to feel more confident in engaging early learners in and through the arts to support students' cognitive and social-emotional development.
