About The Living Arts Village LLC
Welcome to The Living Arts Village LLC, where the transformative power of the arts meets the nurturing spirit of education. Founded in 2004, our mission is to enrich the lives of children, parents, and educators by integrating the arts into early childhood education. Located in the Greater New York City area, we offer a hybrid model of in-person and online programs, ensuring that every child, no matter their location, has access to the profound benefits of artistic expression.
At The Living Arts Village LLC, we believe that the arts are more than just creative outlets—they are vital tools for emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Our programs are designed to foster growth, inspire creativity, and build self-esteem in children. Whether through music, movement, sign language, or literacy, we tailor our classes to meet the unique needs of each child, helping them discover their voice and express their individuality.
We are proud to partner with local organizations like the Broadway Community Center in Yonkers, extending our reach and impact within the community. Our classes are not just about entertainment—they are about connection, learning, and growth. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to participate, creating a supportive environment where families can bond and learn together.
About Sabrina A. Francis
Sabrina A. Francis, the visionary behind The Living Arts Village LLC, is a seasoned arts education consultant with over 20 years of experience. Sabrina’s journey into arts education is deeply personal. She has never forgotten how the arts shaped her own education, providing her with a holistic way to learn languages, develop cognitively, and navigate the world. Today, she brings this passion to every aspect of her work.
As a certified Kindermusik and Orff Schulwerk Level 1 instructor, Sabrina has developed a rich, multidisciplinary approach to early childhood education. Her programs, currently serving five preschools and daycares, are tailored to the needs of each child, combining music and movement with elements of sign language and literacy. But her impact doesn’t stop with the children—Sabrina also offers workshops for teachers, staff, and parents, empowering them with the tools they need to be more competent, confident, and inspired educators.
Sabrina’s educational background includes a Master of Science in Early Education from Walden University, with a focus on Early Childhood Management Leadership and Administration. She also holds a NYS Teacher Certification for Birth to 2nd Grade, and she continually seeks opportunities for growth through workshops, online classes, and seminars.
Beyond early education, Sabrina is committed to guiding and inspiring artists to use their talents to make a difference in their communities. She provides resources and mentorship to help artists develop their entrepreneurial skills, ensuring they can thrive as both artists and educators.
Sabrina’s work is driven by a simple yet profound belief: that when we equip teachers with the right tools, they can reach and inspire many more children. Through The Living Arts Village LLC, she is dedicated to making this belief a reality, one child, one teacher, and one community at a time.
