Dance Class

Our program includes a daily dance class!

The most important element of a preschool dance class is that the children have fun! Dance can provide a great sense of accomplishment, self-esteem, and physical exercise. Dance teaches preschoolers to interact with others, follow directions, develop self-confidence, musicality, increase motor skill development, helps with balance, coordination, and agility, gain rhythmic skills and much more.

Classes are structured around basic movements such as hopping, skipping, and jumping. With the introduction of music and the structure of a basic ballet class, we are able to guide young dancers in transforming these movements into dance steps!

Introduce the art of dance to your child. Locomotor skills are taught and reinforced using music, simple dance steps and colorful prop

Drama

Drama allows children to express themselves through movement and storytelling. Here are five reasons to use dramatic play in the education of preschoolers:

Dramatic Play improves your child's memory!
Drama activates (or pretends to activate) all five senses in activities that mimic real life. Each sense that is associated with an experience reinforces the memories tied to that sense.
Dramatic Play teaches communication skills!
Speaking clearly and listening are skills that will be important throughout your child's life. Drama is a great way to practice both of them.
Dramatic Play engages creativity and imagination!
Activities that allow your child to express and grow their creativity and imagination will improve their problem-solving skills for years.
Dramatic Play is an outlet for children to fix reality!
Life isn't always fair for children, but dramatic play lets them create their own universe where everything follows their rules. It also give them a chance to analyze life from a different perspective and make sense of events that can be confusing.
Dramatic Play helps children learn non-verbal cues!
Important expressions that take children time to pick up on (like "pursed lips" or "knit eyebrows") can be discussed and mimicked in drama so that children recognize them in "real life." This strengthens their ability to "read" and interact with others.

Preschool Music

Music for Little Mozarts is the new piano course for preschoolers. It provides appropriate piano instuction for young children. Singing and listening skills are developed simultaneously with an appreciation for musical styles. The materials in the course combine to create an exciting and imaginative atmosphere both in the preschool classroom and in the home.
