“…In general, the findings have suggested that exposure to the arts can enhance cognitive and learning skills, particularly for those children most at risk for poor developmental outcomes (National Endowment of the Arts, 2011). That said, to date, only a small number of studies have examined the effect of the visual arts on children's school readiness skills (Brown, Benedett, & Armistead, 2010;Brown & Sax, 2013;Brown et al, 2018). Results from this research have suggested that children who attend an arts program have better receptive vocabulary than children who do not attend such a program (Brown, Benedett, & Armistead, 2010) and have superior positive emotions (Brown & Sax, 2013).…”

“…Although the findings from this research have not always been consistent, there has been much support for the proposition that music is positively related to academic achievement, cognitive functioning, and behavioral changes. That said, while the outcomes have been positive for middle-class children few studies to date have examined the effects of music on low-income children's academic achievement and behavior (Brown & Sax, 2013;Brown, Benedett, & Armistead, 2010;Brown, Garnett, Velazquez-Martin, & Mellor, 2018). Moreover, even fewer studies have examined the relationship between the arts broadly defined and children's school readiness and overall development (National Endowment of the Arts, 2011, 2015).…”

“…Associations between drama or dance and creativity were apparent but based on only a few studies with small sample sizes, therefore limiting the ability to draw conclusions. A further series of reviews of quantitative and qualitative evaluation studies of arts in schools and the community by Jindal-Snape et al (2014a,b, 2018 found similarly varied results concerning academic outcomes, with a tendency for effects to be more evident in music and multi-art contexts and more pronounced among pre-school children.…”

“…Second, arts can be taught as a stand-alone subject or be integrated into other subjects or the wider teaching approach. For example, arts integration has been found to be beneficial across art domains, ages and outcomes (e.g., Hardiman et al, 2014;Lee et al, 2015;Brown et al, 2018). However, the term arts integration is often interchangeably used for different approaches (Institute for Arts Integration and STEAM, 2019), varying from arts enrichment which uses the arts as a tool of engagement to using science, technology, engineering, the arts and math to guide students' critical thinking (STEAM; Perignat and Katz-Buonincontro, 2019).…”

“…Several studies have been conducted to investigate the benefits of services for young children in museums and libraries (Becker, 2012 ; Brown et al, 2018 ; Cahill et al, 2020 ; Sirinides et al, 2017 ). Sirinides et al ( 2017 ) conducted a survey of museum and library administrators and found that 96% of library administrators who responded indicated they plan to continue or expand their programs for young children in the future.…”
