“We wanted our son to experience pre-school and Kindergarten as a place where art, music and play were celebrated in a small-class setting. The teachers at the Yocum Institute for Arts Education have a lovely way of building Visual Arts, song and story-telling into the curriculum, while also incorporating basic math, science, geography and language concepts to prepare little ones for their next steps. We were particularly delighted that our son had the opportunity to learn French, experience dance and movement class, and explore the culture of many countries through the Discovery program. The Institute’s very caring staff, creative immersion in the Arts, unique field trips, and focus on self expression are unmatched in Berks County and provide the perfect place for children to begin their first steps in a lifetime of learning. We’re pleased that the instructors at The Yocum Institute for Arts Education helped cultivate the “love of learning” in our child, and proud to be part of the Yocum family!”
