Preschoolers tend to garner attention wherever they go. Our little celebrities need friends. Relationships are the building blocks of healthy development. Learn how to nurture your child’s innate desire for social connection this week during our YALA Artsplay!™ workshop, using call and response chants that give young children the opportunity to practice active listening and effective communication. They will imitate, explore the voice, and gain confidence in singing together.

This free 6-part workshop series is made possible by The Helis Foundation. Our workshops provide engaging arts-based activities designed to instruct caregivers on how to use the arts at home to promote early learning. Lessons are conducted by certified Louisiana Wolf Trap Teaching Artists, who have expertly crafted multi-sensory experiences that foster children’s natural curiosity for learning. After each workshop, children and their caregivers can download our digital Connection Cards for tips on how workshop activities can be continued at home.
