Music
In addition to the songs taught by the classroom teacher, there is a special music teacher who enables the children to delve deeper into different aspects of music; i.e., introduction of many musical instruments, learning to sing at different volume levels and varied tempos, learning to hear the beat of the song and move their bodies to that beat through marching, clapping and the use of musical instruments. Kindergarten classes learn to play basic notes on the soprano recorder and perform simple songs.
 

Spanish
Conversational Spanish is taught twice a week in all of the five day classes in order to familiarize children with the sounds of another language and its culture. While we do not expect our students to become proficient in Spanish, we hope that it will teach them to perceive sounds that are unfamiliar to them and lay the foundation for other languages.

Creative Dance
At this age, gross motor and tumbling activities are another important aspect of development. The children learn specific positions, routines, creative movement and directional concepts. Our end of the year recital, is a culmination of all their practicing and hard work, and is enjoyed by all.

Drama
Children in the three and five day classes participate in the drama program. The children are introduced to acting out familiar stories and characters. These opportunities stimulate their imagination and creativity while building self-confidence.
