Enrichment Program

Creative Movement Dance Class

The class encludes dance, tumbling and creative movement with fun props and cool music!

Have you ever really watched a child move? Most parents of preschoolers notice the joy that movement brings into their child's live. And once this joy is noticed, parents might start thinking about dance class.

To understand the positive aspects of movement, all anyone has to do is watch the smile that graces the face of a child spinning and hopping to the beat. There is a sense of pride and self-accomplishment that comes with mastering the movements. But there are other, more subtle, benefits involved. Dances teaches preschoolers to interact with others, follow directions, and learn new vocabulary, increase vestibular development, help with balance, coordination, and agility, gain rhythmic skills and much more.

Gymnastics  

Gymnastics offered weekly with a variety of exercises. Tip toe across the beam, roll down the cheese mat, and cartwheel on the rainbow. Our young gymnast’s are led through an action packed course over brightly colored equipment, learning a variety of gymnastic skills and stunts as they master the challenges in their path. They go from trampoline to balance beam and through the obstacle course at a preschool level of physical and motor fitness in a comfortable and challenging atmosphere.
