About Jump Start with the Arts
Jump Start with the Arts is an early childhood arts enrichment program. Our goal is to provide a jump-start to healthy and joyful social and cognitive development in the early stages of learning and to provide young children with memorable, educational, developmentally appropriate, and culturally diverse experiences through the Arts.
The selection of artists on our roster is based on artistic excellence and proven ability to connect successfully with pre-school age audiences, as well as educators and parents. Download the Carpe Diem "Jump Start with the Arts" brochure here.
