Our method takes a fresh approach to early learning, nurturing your child’s natural curiosity and fostering a lifelong passion for discovery.
This blog article explores how Rothewood Academy makes learning fun through arts integration. Come along as we describe how arts at Rothewood aren’t just activities – they inspire every preschooler to shine.
What Is Arts Integration?
Arts integration is an educational approach that combines teaching academic subjects using various art forms to enhance learning. It involves integrating art forms such as music, dance, dramatic play and visual arts into traditional academic subjects like math, science and language arts.
This approach encourages children to connect with different subjects and engage in hands-on, creative learning experiences.
Arts integration is not just about adding a few art activities to a lesson; it involves deliberately integrating the arts into the curriculum. Therefore, the arts are considered a tool for helping teach academic content rather than being taught as a separate subject.
What Art Forms Do We Integrate into Our Curriculum?
Rothewood Academy incorporates diverse art forms into the curriculum to enrich your precious one’s learning experience. These include:
