Project Title: Tustin Community Preschool Field Trip – The Nutcracker
Project Description:

Our preschool seeks funding to enrich our students’ cultural education through a field trip to The Barclay Theater to experience a professional ballet performance of "The Nutcracker." This field trip offers a unique opportunity for our young learners to engage with classical music, dance, and storytelling in a live theatrical setting.

It is our hope that this experience aims to foster a deeper appreciation for the arts and expand our students’ cultural horizons at a formative age. Research underscores the profound impact of arts exposure on early childhood development, enhancing cognitive abilities, creativity, and social-emotional skills. By immersing our preschoolers in the enchanting world of "The Nutcracker," we aim to ignite their imaginations and inspire a lifelong love for the arts.

The grant will cover tickets, transportation, and educational materials to prepare our students for the performance. Our dedicated educators will integrate preparatory lessons on ballet, music, and the story of "The Nutcracker" before our trip to ensure that each child gains maximum educational benefit from this experience.

We are committed to making this opportunity accessible to all students, including those from underserved backgrounds. With your support, we can provide a transformative cultural experience that will leave a lasting impression on our preschoolers, nurturing their growth as well-rounded individuals.
