Young children in thirty-seven Head Start classrooms across eight counties will benefit from rich, arts-integrated learning experiences with support from Head Start Arts Integration Grants. From Brattleboro to Greensboro, twelve professional teaching artists will work with children, teachers, and parents to enrich the learning environment and support the students' academic, social, and emotional growth. An important component of the program is collaboration between the teaching artist and classroom teacher, which ensures that the learning continues beyond the residency.
