Abstract
This study examined how early child educators are immersing the arts into their curriculum in a standards based era while considering what approaches if any are followed. Through the utilization of research and interview questions developed and facilitated by the researcher, five early childhood educators provided information about variables impacting the way the arts were immersed in early childhood. The results of this study confirmed the impact that knowledge about early childhood approaches that utilize art can have on the selection of strategies and techniques that are embed in classroom practices in a standard space era.
