Project WoW

Sparking wonder through arts integration in preschools 

Generously funded by the PNC Foundation, Project WoW (World of Wonder) is a collaborative education initiative that works to engage low- to moderate-income preschool children in a new model for early childhood education that focuses on the integration of science and arts across existing curriculum. The initiative includes weekly hands-on lesson plans for preschool students at education partner sites, in-depth yearlong mentoring for teachers and a family engagement component. 

Project WoW supports improved learning outcomes in preschool students by mentoring preschool teachers and leading 50-minute long in-classroom lessons that encourage students to explore and interpret their world. In addition, take-home family learning activities encourage parents to become stewards of their child’s education while helping young learners see themselves and their role models as lifelong learners.
