While YALA started with school performances, we began to add educational components as early as the 70s. Through the Artist in Classroom format, students not only get a concert, but an in-class lecture and demonstration involving elements of music appreciation. It's just the beginning!

Quality early learning education has a lasting positive impact, as shown in the Perry Preschool Project, a decades-long longitudinal study. But that increased likelihood of success should not be limited by socio-economic status... and Ascension Parish Government agrees. They partnered with Nicholls State University and Multistudio develop the West Ascension Early Learning Center (WAELC). The new early learning center will provide quality education to families on a sliding scale, creating much-needed options for families. 🥳 "We are giving the children an opportunity to be exposed to such an opportunity to be exposed to such an environment and giving parents an opportunity to enter the workforce or go back to school with a trusted place to send their child," said Mistie Lasseigne, executive director of Early Childhood Initiatives for Nicholls and WAELC. https://lnkd.in/gkDW93KG #EarlyLearningIsEssential #PerryPreschoolProject #WestAscensionEarlyLearningCenter
