The education program of Dumbarton Concerts improves the quality of early
childhood education for children from birth to age five living in Washington,
DC’s most economically disadvantaged communities. We offer arts-based
classes for students, professional development for teachers, and workshops to
show families how they can support their child’s literacy development at home.
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IS ESSENTIAL
Children’s brains develop more rapidly in the first five years than at any
other time, and young children who are exposed to early language and
literacy experiences demonstrate increased reading proficiency throughout
their lives. Our book-based classes use music, movement, and visual art to
promote early learners’ cognitive development, social-emotional growth,
and kindergarten readiness.
HOW WE ARE SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY
Throughout the pandemic, our education program has:
• Increased engagement through arts-based classes for children learning
from home and in the classroom.
• Offered workshops for parents and teachers on how they can use the arts
to build children’s literacy.
• Donated books, art kits, musical instruments, and essential items
like food and diapers to communities who have been disproportionately
impacted by COVID-19.
Your support allows us to offer our award-winning programs in more
classrooms, expanding access for underserved students to the high-quality,
enriching early childhood education opportunities they need and deserve.
