Here is what people who have used the
program have said about their experience.
“As a teacher who seeks to incorporate the arts into every learning domain, I was ecstatic to begin implementing the activities. I adore the curriculum, and have used it in both a workshop format, and in my everyday classroom. While the structure of the curriculum provides a logical sequence, teachers can use it in a manner that is sensitive to abilities and interests of their students. This is one of the aspects I adore most about the curriculum! It is flexible and allows for creativity. Any teacher can incorporate the curriculum, offering their students an active, engaging approach to learning that can easily be aligned with required standards. Whenever the economy suffers, so do the arts in our schools, despite research proving their necessity in education. How refreshing that this wealth of material is available to teachers for free, at a time when it is most needed."

“I am an early childhood teacher in a classroom with 3, 4, and 5 years olds. What first appealed to me about the
curriculum is that I believe young children should be exposed to the arts. As an educator I recognize the importance of the arts in our classroom. Music, movement, and art allow for the development of many essential life skills; including critical thinking and problem solving. I also believe that children should be exposed to music and art at a young age to help foster their love and abilities in these areas. As I looked further into this curriculum my excitement grew I saw how user friendly
was. The leaders guide provides such great guidance and supplementary information. Furthermore, everything is presented in a way that it allows someone who does not have a background in the arts field, like myself, to really be successful and feel confident in teaching the materials. I also loved the flexibility of the program. Although they give you lesson plans to follow, they are presented in an open ended manner allowing for you to add your own touches and modifications, really allowing you to tailor it towards your school, your class, and your children.
is a truly wonderful curriculum and I recommend it to all teachers."
