Delaney Wright Fine Arts Preschool began as a dream to create a program where children can learn and grow through the lens of the fine arts. Our Hollywood campus has been helping children learn for over 20 years and we are so excited for our brand new Eagle Rock location, which just opened its doors to the Eagle Rock community in August of 2021. We are proud to be one of the premier preschools serving the greater Los Angeles community. What makes us different? We focus on teaching children and helping them maximize their personal development through the lens of the fine arts! This means that we hope to show children that learning is a lifelong passion through music and movement, storytelling, science and technology, and equality amongst all. Our beautiful community gardens are filled with a plethora of delicious, organic vegetables and lush fruit trees and our large playgrounds and classrooms are equipped with all children need to learn and PLAY! The incorporation of fine arts into our daily curriculum allows children to explore intellectual and social and emotional areas of development through the lens of various artistic mediums. Some areas that we explore include: Visual Arts: Children express their perceptions of the world around them by creating and exploring art from a variety of mediums. This can include mixing paint to discover textures and the science of mixing colors or exploring different materials and ways to create visual arts, whether that be through mixed-material collages or constructing 3-D sculptures from papier mâché or cardboard pieces. Music, Dance, and Movement: Music employs our ability to create and interpret sounds as well as our sense of hearing. Movement and dance allow the children to utilize sounds to express a variety of feelings and experiences and expand their physicality through purposeful movement and controlled motion. Drama and Literature: Children are challenged to interpret, evaluate, critique, and formulate conclusions while also allowing us to express or empathize with our human qualities through the use of drama and literature. We offer the Eagle Rock community year-round care, including summer care. All of our school closure dates (breaks and holidays) follow the Los Angeles Unified School District schedule and scheduled half-days are listed on our annual calendar. Admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis, with priority given to currently enrolled children and their siblings.
