Settlement Music School in Philadelphia goes national with its arts preschool

Want your kids to be 60 percent happier, with five times less stress and triple the vocabulary? The Settlement Music School in Philadelphia has just what you are looking for.

Settlement’s preschool program, Kaleidoscope, generates those “astonishing” results in young children, according to child psychologist Dr. Emily Brown, director of West Chester University’s Early Childhood Cognition and Emotions Lab, who has been studying Settlement’s Kaleidoscope school for 20 years.

“It was a ‘wow’ moment,” Brown said about when she started to understand Kaleidoscope’s results.

The school now is offering the program for teachers and home schoolers everywhere with an online teaching platform, called KWEST.
