Children's Art Project

It's that time of year again, when children's art is needed!  New York's youngest artists, ages 1 to 5, create art to show elected officials how much learning occurs in early childhood programs. The artwork highlights the necessity of getting it right from the start - that is, the importance of high-quality early care and learning as the foundation for future success in school and in life.

We'll create a display of the submitted art for a spring event in Albany, and for smaller regional dislpays this summer.  We also use submissions for advocacy purposes like our annual poster.

So download the instructions, and drawing form to submit, and get busy with your young artists!

Below are some of the submissions we received in 2008, from over 150 providers across New York State.  Click on any image to enlarge.
