At Los Niños Primero, we believe the arts are a cornerstone of childhood development and a powerful tool for self-expression and growth. Research shows that engaging in artistic activities fosters communication, enhances motor skills, language development, and social interaction, while also cultivating self-discipline and creativity.
Our Arts & Cultural Enrichment Programs invite students to immerse themselves year-round in the vibrant worlds of art, music, theatre, and dance. Through these experiences, children not only explore their creativity but also strengthen their connection to their culture and traditions, building a sense of pride and identity.
By nurturing a love for the arts, we are empowering our students to discover their voices, embrace their heritage, and unlock their full potential.

Orchestra & Chorus
For children ages 5 and up
Weekly from September – May
Orchestra & Chorus is a celebration of music and its transformative power in childhood development. This vibrant program enriches our offerings while fostering a sense of unfiltered joy and creativity. Music serves as more than just an art form—it helps children improve their ability to organize thoughts, manage time, focus attention, and regulate emotions, building skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
Under the expert guidance of classical instructor Isabel Mester, students in the Los Niños Primero Orchestra explore a variety of instruments, including ukuleles, xylophones, keyboards, and recorders. This hands-on experience ignites a passion for the arts while challenging children to collaborate as a team to create something truly beautiful.
Our program is designed to foster a sense of belonging and offer rewarding, exciting musical experiences. By immersing children in the world of music, we empower them to expand their horizons, embrace their cultural identity, and unlock their potential through the universal language of music.
Dance
For children ages 6 to 12 years old
Dance is where movement meets culture, creating an inspiring blend of art, health, and heritage. Through this dynamic program, children engage in traditional and contemporary dance instruction, exploring styles such as Folkloric, Flamenco, and Hip-Hop under the expert guidance of Angelita Itzamani.
Each semester, students showcase their hard work and creativity in a vibrant culminating performance, celebrating their progress and talents. Beyond mastering dance techniques, participants connect with their roots and cultural traditions, deepening their sense of identity and pride.
This program also promotes physical health and well-being, offering the benefits of regular movement while building confidence, discipline, and teamwork. Through dance, children discover the joy of self-expression and the power of storytelling through rhythm and motion.
