Extracurricular Activities

Computer Program: We offer a Computer Education Program to all the children enrolled. Classes are held in a custom designed computer lab. Children play with age appropriate educational software programs. The programs are designed to  help children develop hand-eye coordination and build on their academic skills.

Spanish Lessons: Spanish classes are offered twice a week. Tapes, boards, flash cards and a variety of materials are used to expose the children to the language. Stories and nursery rhymes help children develop new vocabulary.

Chidren's Yoga: Children learn an introduction to Yoga through animal poses, imaginative play, stories, and songs.  We focus on yoga through imitation during the preschool years, therefore we do not do adjustments,

hold poses or practice  breath retention.  Yoga teaches children body and breathing awareness, spatial orientation, gross motor skills, cross-lateral movement (providing foundations for reading and writing),balance, and concentration.   Each session features   a different “theme” involving familiar objects, concepts, and animals.  (Example:  “Trip to the Zoo”, complete with Yoga poses as various zoo animals and riding the zoo train.)  Children learn through repetition.  Children will see how easy and fun Yoga can be!   Participation in Yoga class meets or exceeds the guidelines set forth for public school physical education standards.

Gymnastics with Tumble On The Go: TUMBLE ON THE GO  is a 38-foot International Bus completely equipped with fun & exciting tumbling & gymnastics equipment including bars, beams, mats, vaults, rings, zip lines, trampolines, monkey

bars and more.  This gym on wheels is carefully designed to create a fun, safe, non-competitive environment for children ages 2-10 to gain confidence & self-esteem as they learn the basics of gymnastics.  The programs main objective is to increase each child's strength, agility, balance & coordination on a individual level creating a great basis for all future sporting activities.  TUMBLE ON THE GO provides the ultimate in "Fitness & Fun......All in One".

Music Program: Before your child learns the ABC's and 1-2-3's, there's a critical area of development that can have a lifelong impact. It's music education, and it is very important to a young child's development. Research shows

that music helps build children's self confidence, enhances complex reasoning skills and focuses listening skills.  The program is designed to offer a unique blend of multi-level activities that include creative movement, vocal play, object and instrument exploration, to stimulate children's growth and development and engage all their senses.

Cooking Classes: Once a week children get to be gourmet chefs and cook exotic "Toddler Cuisine", with mouth watering dishes such as: jell-o, marshmallow snowman and more. The most

important step in cooking is the process during which  children learn to follow directions and improve motor skills by learning how to measure, pour and mix.

Nature Study : The study of nature is an integral part of our curriculum. Children must learn about and interact with nature in order to truly appreciate its wonders.

Unfortunately children living in urban environments get less of an opportunity to see the beauty of nature. A green-house at the school helps children learn about their environment and also teaches them the  importance of caring for it.
