Our drama, dance and music classes are 2.5 to 3 contact hours per session. 4 to 6 sessions equal a module. Each module ends with a culminating activities. We call our performing artists Edutainers.
One of our goals is to help keep children safe by providing healthy and safe alternatives to the rising presence of bullying and violence in our communities. In addition to the arts-in-education components, Edutainment includes a curriculum that will help boost self-esteem, restore community pride, provide conflict resolution strategies, promote financial literacy, and stress the importance of time management.
