Music Program

Every Wednesday Ms. Jodi comes to our school for Music. The children will sing songs, play instruments, and play with puppets. She goes to all of the classrooms from waddlers and up so every child gets to experience our music fun.

Soccer Shots

We offer a soccer program, Soccer Shots, on Fridays in the fall and the spring. "Soccer Shots is a nationally recognized program that offers a high energy, fun, and age-appropriate introduction to the beautiful game of soccer. In addition to soccer, we work on improving children’s gross motor skills and teaching important concepts such as teamwork, sharing, and respect. Soccer shots coaches are enthusiastic and passionate about working with children. Our goal is simple: to leave a lasting, positive impact on every child that we coach.”
