Welcome to the 1-2-3- A-R-T YouTube Series

This seven-episode mini-series will address the learning gap many kindergarten and first-grade students will face when going back to school this year.

Join Lindsey Moss from The Art of Education University as she shares tons of tips and tricks for success with kindergarteners!
