Omaha Performing Arts has established a national partnership with Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts, a Pre-K arts education program for local schools, community organizations, and parents/caregivers with children ages 3-6.
The program uses the arts to inspire a love of learning in children and support early childhood educators. Expert teaching artists help teachers and parents use music, dance, theatre, puppetry, and storytelling to advance:
- Cognitive and social-emotional development
- Communication and relationship skills
- familiarity with STEM
- Literacy and language skills
NEW! ArtsPlay!™, a class by Omaha Wolf Trap
Introducing a new class open to the public to enroll in. Children and their parents/grown-ups spend each class making new friends and experiencing joyful, active learning and development through music, drama, and storytelling.
about the program
Omaha Wolf Trap launched in October 2023 in Omaha Public Schools. O-pa will expand to additional schools in Nebraska and Western Iowa in future years. The program will also offer community workshops for parents and caregivers and a family class series to provide a variety of arts activities that families can use at home to reinforce learning and creativity.
