We do this by providing quality educational, theatrical experiences, which enhance children's self confidence, personal growth, group collaboration and leadership skills, while building community partnerships. Our Goals: -Provide theatrical, dance and musical interaction for children to develop skills in music, theater, and visual arts. -Provide an opportunity for children to perform at their level of comfort in a supportive environment. -Actively engage children in their community and the local community with Children's Performing Arts. -Provide leadership development for youth including programs that increase leadership, teamwork, and cognitive skills. STATEMENT OF INCLUSION Children’s Performing Arts honors the uniqueness of each individual and embraces diverse backgrounds, values and viewpoints to build a strong, inclusive community that prepares youth for lives in a multicultural society. This means providing all who live, learn, and work within our organization to have the opportunity to experience a broad range of ideas and perspectives. Diversity is an irreplaceable educational and artistic asset that develops the whole person. As we embrace the opportunity to learn from each other; it challenges us to grow and think differently. Quality education is enhanced by shared perspectives of those with varied backgrounds and views. Children’s Performing Arts strives to create a supportive environment that welcomes all people regardless of race, beliefs, disability or economic status.
