The Arts in Learning VSA arts of NH wants educators and administrators in every NH school to become advocates for arts learning in their schools and to integrate arts activities into their classrooms. We can help schools in this process by consultations, trainings or by connecting them with appropriate resources. The Arts in Early Learning VSA arts has undertaking a three year intensive project to provide training, support and resouces for early childhood educators, care providers and private and public pre-schools so that the arts become part of the day-to-day core experience of young children in these settings. Working with the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire with an emphasis on the Lakes Region and North Country, we are providing workshops, in-school visits, family and child arts events, consultations and links to resources.

"Teachers were not only involved in the [VSA arts of NH integration training] process but are already talking about what projects they would like to work on for next school year. Throughout the time students spent with the classroom teachers, it was so apparent that we had reached our goal of acceptance and tolerance. We witnessed teams of students working together that we could not have predicted being successful. Students were helping one another and accepting feedback from other students, faculty, and the artists."
