Enrichment Programs
Our enrichment programs are designed to give children the opportunity to try new things, explore and develop interests outside of the classroom. Our activities are play-based. In this context, children can explore, experiment, discover and solve problems in imaginative and playful ways through hands-on activities.
GIVEN THE CURRENT SITUATION, WE WILL ONLY OFFER IN-GARDEN CLASSES IN THE SUMMER. IN THE FALL.
ONCE THE WEATHER GETS COLD, CLASSES WILL ONLY BE CONDUCTED ONLINE.
* S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math)
Each of S.T.E.A.M's five subjects will share a common approach and focus. They will require gathering and using evidence to create knowledge or solve problems. S.T.E.A.M. learning will happen naturally everyday as children explore, play, and try new things. We will also had a touch of mindfulness.
*Art (Paris in the palm of my hand - Madrid in the palm of my hand - The world in the palm of my hand)
A magical Art class with a sprinkle of French and Spanish for children. We will explore the work of famous French and Spanish artists. Art from all around hte world is a similar program where the children will also learn about new cultures.
*French (Ooh là là)
*Spanish (¡Olé!)
Inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach, the children will get to go to Paris or Madrid without leaving the classroom (...or their garden during the pandemic...) Each class will have a different theme: At the airport, At the museum, At the restaurant...The children's imagination will be put to work.

The children will learn life skills, health, physical development (fine motor and eye-hand coordination), language, math, science, creativity, building confidence and much more. Your child will develop an adventurous and varied taste palette! Menus will be sent in advance, so you can gather ingredients ahead of time. Let us know if your child has food allergies, we will adapt recipes if needed.

More importantly, children feel a rush of pride and accomplishment when they learn a practical new skill, fueling their determination to continue and excel.
