A Message from the Principal:
The fall is a busy time of year with lots of fun events taking place very soon. Please take a look at our October newsletter here.
With the weather changing and getting colder, please take a moment to check your child’s cubby to make sure they have a couple extra sets of warmer clothing.
New Classes:
We are very excited to be offering extra classes for your students. We are always trying to bring new things into our school to benefit our students and families. We are only able to run additional classes such as these if we have enough interest in them. Some classes require a minimum number of students to continue in our school. If you ever have an idea for a class, please let us know! One of our most popular programs, Soccer Shots, will be returning in the Spring.
Joy of Dance: Every Tuesday 3:15-4:00pm
Is a great opportunity for both boys and girls to learn and explore dance. Children will develop valuable skills in the areas of physical, creative, social, cognitive, and emotional development. In addition, the children absolutely love to dress up and participate. At the end of the class, parents will come and watch what their children have learned in their very own recital.
Stretch-n-Grow/Funtastic Fitness: Every Wednesday 10:00-10:45am
This is a fun program that our students are already familiar with from our fun summer camp! Students engage in fun, creative movements, maneuver through obstacle courses, play musical instruments, parachutes, hula hoops, silly music, and so much more.
Bite Size Chefs: Every Thursday 10:00-10:45am Our cooking class has continued to be popular and children are excited to see and try a product that they themselves have made. Students will learn basic cooking skills, tools we use, exploration of ingredients, mixing and measuring, and more. Each cooking class you will receive pictures of the activity with a description of what was made and at the end of the day at pick-up time, your child will stop by the front desk to pick up their cooking project and recipe card for you to keep.
