 Elective Enrichment Classes

Yoga: Children are natural yogis with their amazing flexibility and big body movements. Yoga teaches children body awareness, self-regulation, breath exercises, and impulse control. In this preschool yoga class, the children will begin to tune into their breath and bodies, and learn partner poses, single poses, games, and more.

Cooking: Engaging children in food-making is a wonderful way to encourage children to try new foods! Children in the cooking enrichment class get to scoop, slice, bake, sautee, measure, and taste their creations. 

 

Soccer:  Using creative and imaginative games, weekly sessions focus on basic soccer skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting. Soccer instructors will expose children to the fun of soccer and provide the foundation needed to get started in the sport.
