Join us for a fun and engaging exploration of the ABC’s! Each week kiddos will be introduced to two new letters as we venture through the alphabet. We will learn about each letter with songs, sign language, sensory activities, storybooks, crafts and play. We may even throw in some dancing! Throughout the term each child will be working on creating an alphabet book that they get to take home on the last day of class.
Lines, lines and more lines! All letters and numbers are made up of lines: straight, curvy, big, or small. In this play based class we will use stories and movement as a foundation to our exploration of letters and numbers. Every class will start with a fun and engaging circle time. We'll then break out into child directed open ended activities that support concepts practiced at circle time. This class is geared for children 3.5-6 and children who are ready to practice identifying letter/sounds, numbers, quantifying numbers, and writing letters & numbers. Children should be able to engage in a 20 minute circle time without much assistance. This class follows the letters & numbers sequence in the Learning Without Tears book and would pair nicely, although not required, if your family chooses to use that curriculum at home. This would be an excellent class for both terms but is not limited to a full year class. Just know in the second term we will not be starting new but will be continuing what was learned in the first term. Some children could jump in second term and others might not. That all depends on your child and I am happy to assist you if you are unsure. My background is in early childhood education before I became a mom and I just love these early learners! I look forward to connecting with you and your family! Feel free to contact me on Slack with any questions.
Requirements:
Ages 3.5-6. Children should be able to attend and engage at a 20min circle time without much assistance.
Welcome to ABCs and 123s! In this preschool class, we’ll have fun exploring the alphabet and counting up to 100, all through playful activities with friends.

Requirements:
Must be able to attend a 50 min class without parent. Please make sure the restroom is used before class.
Wednesday - Dance Studio A - 116: 2:00 pm - 2:50 pm
Description:
This advanced lyrical and contemporary class is designed to elevate students' dance skills while continuing to explore dance as an art form and a means of expressing ideas. Dancers will be taught to interpret their movements with feeling, emotion, and style, learning to tell a story or create a visual representation of the song. I encourage versatility in expressions and the ability to portray a wide array of movement styles and emotions. The class focuses on spatial and body awareness, use of body weight, floor work, technique, efficient muscle usage, musicality, and safe body alignment. Dancers will also have opportunities to work on their own choreography to contribute to the performances. Please wear appropriate dance attire and ballet or lyrical shoes, with hair pulled back from your face. Bring a labeled water bottle to class. This is a yearlong class and students will be performing in all four performances for our Nutcracker presentation (December 5th-8th) as well as the Spring Dance Show “Moses and The God Who Delivers” (May 15th-18th). This Class will be in Show A and B. PLEASE READ our syllabus containing more details about the shows and pertinent dance class information is located here on our website.
