Music Magic

The wonderful international songs and instruments make the class truly original and refreshing. We couple our teaching with warmth, smiles and radiant energy to engage our students as much as possible. Our dazzling music sets Music Magic apart and makes it so magical for children and their parents too.

Kung Fu

Kung Fu carries enormous benefits to growing little children. Among the top reasons we offer this activity as part of our unique curriculum is to help foster self-discipline, boost socialization skills, encourage physical activity, learn to set and achieve goals, increase self-esteem and sense of respect, encourage non-violent conflict resolution and improve listening skills.

Yoga

Practicing yoga in early childhood develops flexibility, strength, stamina, agility, balance, coordination, self-confidence and fitness. Yoga emphasizes proper body alignment so that children avoid injury, as well as encourages social skills by working with a partner or in a group.

Art

In addition to the the apparent creative expression opportunities that art provides, there are many practical benefits to including art in your child's preschool education. Children are provided an opportunity to practice and gain fine muscle control and strengthening of eye-hand motor coordination. Holding paintbrushes and learning how to control paint, crayons, scissors and other art tools enhances the skills necessary for later writing activities.

Spanish

Babies, toddlers and preschoolers are uniquely equipped to learn one or more languages with ease. Research indicates that young children who learn a second language before the age of five tend to have superior reading, writing, analytical and social skills, as well as more extensive vocabularies than their monolingual peers.

Cooking

Cooking lessons allow children to practice basic mathematical skills like counting, weighing, measuring and estimating with each recipe. Children also receive a great science education benefit as well. Cooking is a hands-on way for children to discover that yeast makes dough rise, and how heat changes the way food tastes and looks.
