Embedding structured, developmentally appropriate studio sessions with experienced artist-educators into the existing life of a preschool program, Where Art Starts raises awareness of the capabilities of young children and the value of artistic expression in human development.

We bring accomplished adult artists to preschool programs, challenging assumptions of young children’s capabilities while honoring what is developmentally appropriate for very young artists (ages 2-5). We do this through educational partnerships in direct and sustained collaboration with preschool teachers.
