Young Rembrandts - Drawing
This fall, your pre-schooler will “fall” in love with our
lessons. Just like the rainbow our youngest artists
will create in the month of September, we will cover a
colorful and pattern-rich spectrum of subjects. We’ll
soak in the warm colors of the sun as we draw a radiating sun face and we’ll be careful not to get tangled
up in our patterned spider web we draw in October! Learn about Native American culture through a
detailed tepee we’ll draw in November, and celebrate
the coming of the winter months with a nutcracker
that takes his job seriously. We’ll draw these (and
many more exciting lessons!) while we enhance our
fine-motor skills, learn to stay on task and follow directions, and learn skills that are critical in the classroom! (No class 11/24)

Yoga Bears
Yoga Bears is a program meant to introduce yoga to
young children. Through numerous activities (yoga
poses, breathing techniques, noncompetitive games,
relaxation, etc) children are able to enjoy and cultivate the many benefits of yoga. The practice of

strength, flexibility and balance, improves focus and
attention, and cultivates respect of self and others.
This is just to name a few of the motor, cognitive and
emotional skills yoga will help develop.
