Studies show that the integration of the arts into learning environments lead to multi-layered benefits for children’s cognitive, mental, emotional, physical, and social development. An integrated arts program is significant to the fundamental development and well-being of every child.

Developed by Fun with Composers (FWC), Playful Arts & Learning: Early Years Integrated Arts Curriculum provides captivating, imaginative activities integrating literature, classical music, dramatic play, creative movement and dance, yoga, and mindfulness.

At the heart of every lesson are core values that we deeply cherish: respect for one another, kindness, inclusivity, diversity, problem-solving, and leadership while learning to be creative and to develop self-confidence through play and exploration. Children will build skills for future group or private music lessons, theatre, and dance classes, and experience the benefits of yoga exercises.

Students will sing, dance, stretch, move, and play through lessons that stimulate the imagination and bring out the best in every child!

Your students will also experience the magic of the Playful Arts & Learning Classical Music component in the comfort of their home with their own direct link to the FWC Classical Music audio files. With these fun-filled audio files at their fingertips, parents and guardians will witness the pure joy and excitement that their child experiences every day in your classroom!

The Playful Arts & Learning Team consists of six internationally recognized music specialists from the FWC Team with over 25 years of experience each! Specialists who have taught early childhood to grade 6 level in both public and private school settings, in English, French Immersion and Francophone schools.

Our team has also shared their expertise as instructors for university courses, and as clinicians at local, provincial, and international workshops and national teacher conferences. Most of the specialists from the Playful Arts & Learning Team have worked hand in hand with many of the finest symphony orchestras, operas, and choirs throughout the country. Their work includes collaborating in designing the content for their student programs and offering their expertise when working with teachers and young children.
