Nearly 90% of a child’s brain is developed by age five
During this crucial stage, parent involvement can make a great impact on setting a child up to succeed in school and life. Whole Child Arts’ preschool and parent-child programs engage children and their caregivers in research-based arts & child development classes designed to support each stage of their growth.
