SWTA is VSA Vermont's inclusive, arts-based literacy program for the youngest Vermonters and intensive professional development program for childcare providers. If you are a home-based childcare provider, you can sign up for this award-winning program. Start With The Arts is accepting applications for the Fall 2015 session. The Fall semester is scheduled to begin in late October.
They have a limited number of openings for home-based providers to participate in this free program for children ages 0-5. Providers earn professional development hours for completing the program.
