Every child deserves the chance to make art, explore music, and discover the joy of creative expression. Through Head Start With Art, BMAC brings teaching artists trained in early childhood education into Head Start and Early Head Start classrooms throughout Windham County. Working with classroom teachers, they lead playful, hands-on activities throughout the school year that spark curiosity, nurture creativity, and encourage self-expression.

Since 2001, Head Start With Art has helped make art and music an enriching part of early childhood education for Windham Country infants, toddlers, and preschoolers whose families might otherwise have limited access to these opportunities.

This program is supported in part by a generous gift from Barbara and Rachel Garber, made in memory of Dr. Norton “Norty” Garber, and by grants from the Vermont Arts Council, the Turrell Fund, and the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation.
