Mission
See Schedule OWe work toward a future where every child, no matter their circumstances, receives an arts education which is designed to equip them with essential life skills in creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking - preparing them to become innovative problem solvers in any career path they choose. Early arts education strengthens memory, attention, and problem-solving skills - tools that serve a child for life.
Program accomplishments
- We provide arts education in schools across Los Angeles that lack arts education. This can be music and movement classes, dance classes, professional development for the classroom teachers, the music/dance program, and school assemblies featuring multi-cultural music and dance. Since opening in 2020 we have reached over 20,000 students with music and dance classes in over 45 schools across LA, and through our international partners abroad. We have a 93% renewal rate with our school partners and strive to be a meaningful part of their school community. Bloom's uniquely designed curriculum fosters organic student growth in pre-literacy skills, social-emotional learning and cognitive and physical development. Partner School Classroom Teachers surveyed reported student improvement in class in the following areas as a result of Bloom's classes: 95.9% Increased sense of community; 94.5% Improved mood; 86.3% Increased student confidence to participate; 86.3% Increased creative thinking and creative problem solving.Expenses $367,059 · revenue $532,436
