The arts exercise every part of the brain... the mathematical skills used for music helps the whole way you think logically, emotionally, and it helps you express yourself which kids need to do. Perhaps most importantly, they learn how to work together. That to me was very important to have for my son.

The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences.

Preschool of the Arts is ahead of its time. If I needed to make a bet, in 10 years, many other schools will be doing what New York Preschool of the Arts is doing.
