The Linda Reimond Arts-Based Preschool
The Lawrence Arts Center’s arts-based preschool program, named in honor of longtime Preschool Director and the 2015 Henry Ford Teacher Innovator Award winner, Linda Reimond, provides social, motor, and creative experiences for 3-5 year olds that excite their love for learning. By embedding music, sculpture, painting, drawing, and creative movement, enrolled children grow in both self-esteem and intellectual ability.
