Young Minds

Afternoon KinderArts Program

Young Minds KinderArts program is an afternoon enrichment experience for children ages 3-5. We introduce our students to elements of music, drama, visual arts and creative movement in a calm, small-group environment (no more than 5 children and 2 teachers) which helps to foster self-confidence and creative expression.

Our program focuses on:

· Becoming confident and effective problem solvers

· Continuing our students' individual academic and social development

· Emphasizing teamwork and positive group learning experiences

· Ongoing development of our students' fine and gross motor skills

· Using the arts as an engaging and valuable tool for cultivating early literacy skills

Young Minds KinderArts program acts as the perfect compliment to morning Kindergarten classes as it helps ease the transition into full-day learning. After a busy morning at Kindergarten, the small group setting provides a much needed calm, safe and nurturing learning environment for your child. As an extension of our Preschool Enrichment program, we continue to use our educational philosophy of learning through play and discovery and child-directed programming.

Afternoon programs are also a great opportunity to transition your child from their afternoon nap, allowing for a smoother bedtime routine and even a more solid sleep schedule.

Classes are held Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:00pm to 3:30pm. Nutritious, nut-free snacks provided.
