Shining a light on POTA's most memorable moments
Global Educator Initiative
Preschool of the Arts was honored to host a group of ten principals and early childhood educators from China. We were chosen as a model school by the Association of China-US Cultural Communication and Education (ACCCE) led by Irene Ran who also acted as translator. The delegates from Chongquing, Beijing, Inner Mongolia, Shenzhen and Taiyan came to tour the school in order to bring back innovative educational models to their programs. They first arrived at our main campus on 19th Street where they toured classrooms, observed our children in Lunch Bunch, and walked through our new Children’s Art Gallery. The tour continued at our Cultural Arts Center where they visited The Living Library, atelier and theater. They were fascinated by the atelier and the unique materials we offer the children. They were also amazed at the level of drawing and images done by the students at this age!
