Mr. Rogers said "When we treat children's play as seriously as it deserves, we are helping them feel the joy that's to be found in the creative spirit. It's the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives."
It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it. -Jacob Bronowski



What is Mundo Lindo?

A program created and taught by Jane LaFazio begun in 2007 of free weekly 2-hour after-school art class for fourth and fifth grade children in the low-income population of Escondido [San Diego North]. The first two years of Mundo Lindo were funded by The Kenneth A. Picerne Foundation. Since 2010 Sponsored by California Center for the Arts, Escondido, CA and grants from generous people and organizations.

As of May 2013, Mundo Lindo has ended. I'm hoping for a non-profit partner to continue it, in Escondido in the fall 2013.
