Delaware Institute for the Arts in Education

Organization Mission:

At DiAE, our mission is to enhance the quality of education in Delaware by delivering arts-integrated, multicultural experiences to students and teachers of all ages …inspiring the artist within.

DiAE is strengthening early childhood education in Delaware through arts integration! Please support our Delaware Wolf Trap early childhood program this year. DWT is a partnership between a teaching artist and an early childhood educator to provide professional development for teachers in the classroom, while engaging children in music, dance, and imaginative play.

Research supports arts integration as a best practice to positively develop well-being, academic progress, and active engagement of students. Participating in arts integration residencies allows teachers to feel more confident in engaging early learners in and through the arts to support students' cognitive and social-emotional development.
 
Program impact:
  •  Educational & programmatic support for teachers/support staff
  • Tailored resources for teachers to use in future classrooms
  • Increased social-emotional learning and socialization
  • Foundational learning in literacy and math
  • Sense of community & connection through the arts/imaginative play

DWT is modeled after the nationally recognized Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts. DiAE is one of 23 international affiliates and is the only provider of this service in DE.
