Studio Art

The children will be offered open-ended art experiences with various media emphasizing the process of creation. By introducing art media through open-ended exploration, children come to fully understand a medium; how it behaves; how it can be used and what tools are needed to work with it. The children will take initiative, be engaged, and be creative.

Yoga, Music, and Movement

Children will experience music in interactive, social and creative ways. Children will explore different musical elements and strengthen their language skills, while we incorporate children's literature such as "Max Found Two Sticks" by Brian Pickney, "THUMP, THUMP, Rat-a-Tat-Tat" by Gene Baer, and "This Is The Hat" by Nancy Van Laan, to inspire the children to make their own instruments, conduct parades and concerts to perform with them.

Big Body

The class is meant to give the children opportunities to have open ended, big movement play, both inside and outside through cooperative play. They will increase their core strength through teamwork and problem solving, through activities such as obstacle courses, tumbling, rolling, rope climbing, and old school playground games such as tag and potato sack races. The class will be an excellent way for our children to learn how to control their bodies and take safe risks.
