EDUCATION

Education, Guidance, and Care

 To promote and support the protection, optimal development, and growth of our children

WAMN is committed to creating a solid culture of immigrant children destined for greatness and prepared to take their rightful place in our nation. All children should have the same opportunities, starting with a solid foundation of early childhood development and access to the best education.

Culturally Responsive Literacy Practices For Diverse Children

Using art to learn literacy concepts and skills


When children's stories are fueled by rich visual imagery, their writing is transformed in many powerful ways. Integrating children's visual imagery at every stage of the writing process, from the earliest stage of pre-writing/idea formulation through essays, writing, revision and publication.

By being introduced to a variety of simple art materials and methods early on, children-writers have access to visual and kinesthetic as well as verbal modes of thinking. For verbal thinkers, this approach can serve to extend their thinking and writing.
