Pre-Kindergarten

As they grow, Pre-K students continue to explore the world with endless curiosity and expanding independence. Through hands-on activities, creative expression, and collaborative play, they strengthen their cognitive, motor, and social-emotional skills while building confidence and a love of learning.

Soccer

Our youth soccer program offers a fun, positive, and non-competitive environment where children will learn the fundamentals of soccer. Our coaches use positive reinforcement to teach skills while building confidence. Physical activities include dynamic exercises like moving at a pace, changing directions, and lateral agility. These classes will start with a warm-up, continue with skill-building, and end with a small-sided scrimmage match.

Yoga
This fun and calming class introduces children to the world of yoga and mindful movement. Through playful poses, gentle stretches, breathing exercises, and imaginative games, children learn to connect their minds and bodies while improving balance, flexibility, and focus. Each session encourages creativity, self-expression, and relaxation, helping children build confidence, reduce stress, and develop healthy habits for both body and mind. Perfect for little ones ready to explore movement with intention and joy!

 

Tuesday

Robotics and Engineering

Our robotics and engineering students will be constantly building, designing and problem-solving using any materials they can get their hands on. Building challenges will bring structural engineering and physics concepts like friction or weight distribution into focus, while robotics projects will call for the mastery of mechanical engineering concepts like circuitry or conductivity. This course will foster students’ inquisitiveness through constant exposure to new materials and new tools, whether it’s practicing dynamic taping techniques or learning how to use a power drill.

Parkour
In this dynamic movement class, students build strength, coordination, and confidence through small obstacles and movement games. They learn safe and efficient movement patterns while developing self-regulation, problem-solving, and social skills—all while having fun and making new friends. Progressions are carefully scaled to each child’s age and skill level, with partner activities and group games fostering a strong sense of community.

Wednesday

Capoeira
Capoeira emerged in Brazil as a means of empowerment, freedom, and survival for enslaved Africans. It was practiced on colonial plantations and in quilombos—communities of free Africans and their descendants living in the backlands. Capoeira grew into a beautiful form of cultural expression that celebrates flexibility, strength, cleverness, and playfulness. Today, Capoeira retains its playful quality. It is widely enjoyed for its aesthetic appeal, as a competitive “dance.” In 2014, UNESCO recognized Capoeira’s unique significance by placing it on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The Capoeira community continues to grow internationally, as Capoeira spreads across six continents and to millions of people worldwide.

Once upon a Canvas

Once Upon a Canvas is a magical, hands-on art class designed for young children where storytelling and creativity come to life together. Each session begins with an enchanting story that sparks imagination—filled with whimsical characters, exciting settings, and gentle themes that inspire young artists. After the story, children are guided through a creative art project using painting, drawing, collage, and mixed media to bring elements of the tale onto their own canvas. Along the way, students explore color, texture, and simple art techniques while building confidence in self-expression. This joyful class encourages creativity, early literacy connections, and a love for storytelling through art in a playful, nurturing environment.

 

Thursday

Chess

Whether your child is a beginner or has already learned the basics of chess, these interactive classes led by Growing Minds will enhance your child’s focus, foster problem-solving and critical thinking, and teach the fundamentals of the game. These classes will solidify basic chess rules, review piece movement, introduce chess notation and coordinates, help students learn how to build and execute a plan for different parts of the game, and lay the foundation for long-term strategic gameplay. Our expert instructors will assess your child’s skill level and provide the instruction necessary to build upon their existing skills so they are ready for more advanced classes, tournament play, or chess team.

Little Ecologists
Little Ecologists empowers children through eco-friendly classes and hands-on activities, encouraging them to take responsible actions and channel their energy positively. The program offers an introduction to key concepts of ecology and to daily actions that benefit the planet. Our curriculum promotes resilience, self-confidence, and emotional intelligence, enabling children to take positive action towards environmental sustainability.

Taste Bud Travelers
Our young chefs will embark on a delicious journey around the world! We'll whip up recipes from their favorite books and TV shows, such as Harry Potter® and SpongeBob Squarepants®. We'll “travel” to Italy for a hilarious, funny-face pizza party, head to Japan to learn the art of sushi-making, then to New York to bake NY-style individual cheesecakes. From mixing and measuring to decorating and tasting, our classes are designed to spark creativity, build confidence, and foster teamwork and curiosity.
