Class Descriptions:
Gymnastics with Ms. Natalie
(Open to all classes)
During this class, children will explore gymnastics movement through an obstacle course designed to help strengthen their gross motor skills. The obstacle course will incorporate age and development of appropriate gymnastics equipment and skills. Children will gain confidence, body awareness, and core/upper body strength all while developing a healthy relationship with movement. Equipment will change regularly but they can expect to see things like monkey bars, springboards, balance beams, and various vaulting blocks. There will also be some fine motor work using equipment such as parachutes, ribbons, scarves, and blocks. Ms. Natalie is very enthusiastic and loves to teach, so the kids will be sure to have a blast!

Fast Break Sports
(Open to all classes)
Our specially designed curriculum provides young athletes of all ages with a healthy combination of skill development, competitive play, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Our “Fundamentals First” philosophy and a high coach-to-child ratio ensure that each child will improve at his or her own rate. With our unique approach, kids have a fantastic time playing. Our coaches are energetic, caring, highly trained, and above all, professional. In our classes and on our teams, we strive to instill the importance of hard work, working together as a team, gracious winning AND losing, celebrating successes, and learning from mistakes. Our coaches realize that as role models they are helping to build character, not just athletes.

Experiments and Explosions with Kyra and Julia
(Open to Yellow, Red, Green and Blue Rooms)
Kids are natural experimenters and inventors. Learning science from an early age helps students understand the world around them. We are going to become expert scientists through a wide array of hands-on activities! Your scientist will conduct experiments, learn new concepts, discuss observations with friends, and learn how much fun science can be! Together we are going to learn to think critically, question, investigate, and begin to understand complex systems. This is the perfect opportunity for science discovery while students will dig into real-life scientific concepts that will be reinforced each week.
