ART
In this class type, our students explore ways to artistically express themselves under guided direction. We offer painting, coloring, craft making, and more.
MUSIC
In this class type our teachers lead the students to play notes, play instruments, sing, and have fun making some noise.
EXERCISE
In this class type, we have our students move to music, either just with their bodies, or with streamers or on yoga matts. There are many different ways for us to get active.
SKILLS & GAMES
In these types of classes, we learn many different skills, some involving money, math, and social interaction. We also play popular games together, as an effort to learn and reinforce concepts through play, passively or actively, which builds a foundation for them to interact and socialize with others outside of class. Furthermore, we strive to teach and encourage community engagement, so they can get involved in community organizations.
