Join us for our annual Arts in Early Learning Conference which this year focuses on "The World Around Me" and young children's connections with their communities (both rural and urban) and with nature and the environment. Through creative movement, music, drama and visual art, participants will experience a wealth of lessons and activities they can use with children in classrooms, childcare settings, community sites and at home. Particular attention will be given to meeting the needs of children with developmental and learning differences. The conference is presented by the Arts Alliance and VSA New Hampshire as part of our ongoing Arts in Early Learning collaboration, in partnership with White Mountains Community College, Berlin. There is no charge for the conference, thanks to the support of the WMCC Student Senate.
