Arts programs help kids learn. A researcher dug into the 'how' at one Philadelphia school

On WHYY's health and science show The Pulse, reporter Maiken Scott talks with psychologist Ellie Brown about her long-running research into the Kaleidoscope Program at Settlement Music School in Philadelphia.

The segment explores how daily music, movement and visual art help preschoolers build vocabulary, regulate emotions and handle stress, and how those findings led to KWEST, which brings the same arts-integrated approach to educators everywhere.
