Chapel
All students attend chapel once a month. Chapel reinforces our love for God and Neighbor and is filled with music, movement and lessons appropriate for preschool-age children. All families are welcome to attend regardless of religious affiliation.
Outdoor Art Studio
The Outdoor Art Studio is available on Thursdays and Fridays during the children’s play time. The studio is a place for children to come up with their own plans and the materials to realize them. It is also a place where groups of children can gather to create collectively. Giving children the tools and freedom to let their imaginations run wild is the groundwork for them to be innovators, problem solvers and artists of the future.
Spanish
If you can develop a foundation and familiarity in Spanish at a young age, children can rapidly accelerate their knowledge of Spanish in later years. Learning a second language is amazingly stimulating for the brain and may help a child’s development in many social and academic areas. We offer a 30-minute weekly lesson to all of our 9-2 classes as well as our Transitional Kindergarten. We feel this program leaves students with more flexibility in thinking, greater sensitivity to language, and a better ear for listening.
Yoga
Children derive enormous benefits from yoga. Physically, it enhances their flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. In addition, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves. All our classes get an opportunity to participate in Yoga once a week. We feel that children get better at dealing with anxiety and stress because they learn to incorporate relaxation and breathing techniques into daily life.
