Visual Arts
Our visual arts program, provided by Jeanett de Jong from Explore & More Children’s Museum, invites and inspires children to look at the world around them and through the eyes of an artist. The question of "what do you see?" can last a lifetime. The children learn to use their senses and focus their perception to learn about and and interpret all that’s around them through the world of art. With practical application, children create a sense of "mastering by doing", whether through painting, drawing or any medium and/or technique needed to facilitate one's self-expression. Guiding steps will help children to build their own visual and verbal language.
Yoga
Yoga is child-centered class, incorporating the practice of mindfulness and utilizing the imagination through imagery. Children learn poses, stretches, and sequences of movement, while discovering their breath and how it connects with their body and mind. Students learn to self-regulate, collaborate and problem solve. Each yoga class integrates the curricular theme of the preschool classroom.
