Maple Street School, Brooklyn | Early Childhood Ed. Integrative Arts Programming & Curriculum
2004
While “retiring” from dance to raise children, KD initially created & pitched an integrative dance, visual art, cross-cultural music & literacy project for a local early childhood education summer camp in Brooklyn, NY.
The program was accepted and this lead to invitation for further involvement in The Maple Street School as an assistant teacher & onto After-school Director. There she developed & implemented progressive, integrative arts programming & curriculum for the school & local community, through the school & grants.
Through this experience of programming & curriculum, it brought the school to be claimed, “The Funkiest Pre-School on Earth”- to which she is very proud.
