fun for little ones; it also gives them what they need to get a head
start on learning. Gross and fine motor skills, basic coordination,

During every weekly 55 minute class, the student works

of music and games. This class enhances coordination, listening skills
and of course taking turns and interactive play.

movement exploration the child will develop physical readiness in

the earlier classes, to help the child develop more strength, flexibility,
confidence and independence.
