Eugene Field has arts time and divided it equally among drama, visual art, music and dance. The classroom teachers and arts teachers collaborate to ensure that the curriculum is taught through the arts and the arts taught through the curriculum. A simple example of mixing the arts with curriculum, is when kindergarten was studying butterflies, in dance they danced by acting out life cycle of butterfly. The staff is great and you should see the annual play! Close Quote
