How we engage children in the first years of their lives profoundly impacts future learning and success.

In partnership with Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts, Arizona Wolf Trap uses arts integration to inspire children with a lifelong love of learning and of the performing arts. When you bring the arts into the classroom, you create joyful, active learning experiences that engage children in ways that can increase academic and emotional development.
