As you all know, we are implementing a new after school class schedule this semester and we are incredibly excited about each class! We feel that these classes in addition to our normal school lessons truly complete our goal to “cultivate creative expression”. The variety of classes we offer ensures that the children are able to be exposed to different cultures, hobbies, and physical activities.
These classes will be extremely fun for the kids while providing them with skills that will continue to benefit them for years to come. Some of our classes are offering free trials within the next few weeks and we encourage everyone to come try out a class! This is a good way to figure out timing and assess whether or not your child can handle the extended day or if the pick up time will work with your other child’s schedules.

This week we are featuring the following classes with trials:
Yoga: This is an activity that increases physical stamina and strength while also improving the mind. Yoga is proven to increase concentration and generate a more positive attitude while sharpening skills such as balance. To find out more about our yoga teacher, read about Mr. Chase on our website, or ask any child who has taken a class with him before… they all love him! He will be coming in during school hours to do a trial demonstration with the kids.
Tae Kwon Do: This class has been a favorite for our students since last semester. This is a sport that incorporates elements of a culture very different from ours and teaches the importance of self-discipline and self-control. The children learn skills that will increase their physical and mental abilities and thus lead to higher self-esteem. Mr. Chase also teaches this class and he will be coming in during school hours to do a trial demonstration with the kids.
Ballerina Beauties: Dance is another opportunity for children to develop their ability to concentrate, relieve stress, and build self-esteem. In addition to becoming more confident overall, they will increase their flexibility and improve posture while strengthening their muscles. This class is through Put Art In Your Heart, a local dance studio that has already made a big impression on our community! We are so exciting to be working with them. Their free trial will be offered on Wednesday, January 16 at 2:30 pm. Please email [email protected] to register your child for the trial class.
Next week’s trials:
My Time: Preschool Tumbling and Movement: Gymnastics offers yet another opportunity for students to develop their coordination, balance, strength and endurance. Working with Ms. Lorie, a former collegiate gymnast and teacher at Lupine Lane, the children will learn just how fun exercise can be and they’ll be begging to come back to Ms. Lorie’s class. Her free trial will be offered on Tuesday, January 22 at 2:30 pm. Please email [email protected] to register your child for the trial class.
ABC Music and Me by Kindermusik: Introducing children to music at an early age has been linked to improved literacy, math, and social-emotional development. Kindermusik is well aware of these benefits and structures their classes in a way that is fun while offering an incredible learning experience to children.
