Program / Event Details

Our Wolf Trap Baby Artsplay!™ residency model is an arts-integrated program for infants and toddlers ages birth-4 and their caregivers and educators.

Weekly Baby Artsplay!™ classes use research-based arts strategies to support the cognitive, physical, and social development of infants and toddlers and build the capacity of educators and caregivers to use these teaching methods on their own. These developmentally appropriate activities include storytelling, creative movement, singing, and music-making with simple rhythm instruments.

During the program, teaching artists work directly with children, educators, and caregivers, coaching the adults as they lead performing arts-based activities for the early learners. This collaborative, hands-on approach ensures that educators and caregivers receive effective training for using the arts in daily activities to improve learning.
