Creative Movement offered in conjunction with Joy of Motion Dance Studio introduces the basic elements of dance including rhythm and time, movement qualities and dynamics, space, and use of the body. Students explore their own movement while gaining confidence and body awareness.

French and Chinese classes facilitated by Communikids helps students focus on speaking and listening skills as they become more comfortable with the target language through the full-immersion model. Circle time, puppet play, storytelling, crafts, movement, and music are conducted using only the target language.

Karate classes facilitated by Dietrich's are FUN and full of expression and excitement. Kids get to jump, duck, move, dance, freeze as they take part in drills disguised as games that increase their coordination and build their self esteem.

Reading and Writing Workshop enhances elementary school readiness for 4 and 5 year olds. Based on the fun, entertaining and educationally sound instructional methods of Handwriting Without Tears® and Phono-Graphix, this workshop reinforces literacy skills taught in the Montessori classroom and other top-rated private and public schools. A trained specialist will lead small groups of no more than three children through two 30-minute sessions each week to work on pencil grip and writing technique, posture, overall legibility, letter and number reversals, letter and number formation (print), spacing of words, consonant letter combinations, beginning to read and spell three sound words.
