emotional learning within the family

CICA looks forward to working closely with families, we believe that fundamental social values are formed within homes and family interaction; therefore, parent unconditional support is essential. CICA strives for the children in the program to become role models for the entire family and communities, we feel this is essential for low income minority children. One of CICA’s main goal is for children to feel important, this is also one of art's greatest virtues and is of great importance in today's society. Art gives children and youth a positive identity, they are no longer a typical children, he is now an Artist, a Dancer or Musician. Once this child feels important within his family, they will then look for greater social and economic improvements in themselves, home and their community, they will then aspire and pursue a constructive belief of happiness and greatness for the entire family, they will then project themselves as confident individual and contribute to their every day life.
