Programs

The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.

Tiny Tykes 3m - 12m

As the babies gain hand, arm, and trunk control and become mobile, we introduce new and stimulating activities. Our experienced teachers are sensitive to the strong emotional attachment these little ones are developing with their mothers, and each parent/child unit is nurtured according to their specific needs. Our Tiny Tykes and their parents are led through a variety of beginning stretches, exercises, infant songs and dances, baby-safe rides and adventures, balance and agility skills, and introductory tumbling during this motivating program. A relationship between movement and physical activity begins to develop, as our Tiny Tykes discover their natural abilities and enhance their physical and cognitive development.

Terrific Tots 2y 6m - 3y 6m

In addition to having fun with structured games, fascinating "Adventures," and pre-gymnastics, our Terrific Tots learn beginning sports skills, gain fine and gross motor proficiency, and strengthen manipulative skills. The youngsters become more independent as teachers are now interacting more directly with them. Parental involvement is gradually decreased through inviting activities with love and understanding, and the children exude pride and self-esteem as they are treated like "big kids." In this age group, teaching physical skills is a top priority. The development of social skills is also emphasized, as the youngsters become good listeners, follow directions, cooperate in a group, and learn more about themselves.

Waddlers 12m - 20m

This stimulating program introduces balancing, tumbling, hanging, and agility skills, which helps the children develop a love of physical activity and a sense of pride in their achievements. At this age, a child's level of independent mobility will typically progress from aggressive crawling to running. Additional fine and gross motor skills developed during this stage include kicking a ball, building a block tower, riding a tricycle, and walking up stairs. Our highly trained instructors shower the children with affection, as they guide our Waddlers in early social skills through interactive songs, choreographed dances, age-specific puppet shows, special rides, and a variety of swings and other original activities.

Special children

Our goal is to enhance the quality of life and improve the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development of our precious recipients. Through our gifting program, we help these special children acquire the confidence, self-esteem, and sense of well-being they need to lead more productive and rewarding lives. These essential gifts range from items such as sensory equipment, cooling vests, and calming apparatus to restorative services, scholarships, and even special seating devices that allow a child to have a bath or sit at the dinner table with the family. We strive every day to improve the quality of life for as many children as possible.
