Village is designed to offer multiple levels of age appropriate activities that stimulate babies to observe, imitate, and learn. Perfect for lap babies, crawlers and emerging walkers accompanied by a parent or caregiver. Research shows the more you expose your baby to nursery rhymes and songs, the stronger those emerging language learning skills will be. Through engagement in creative movement, vocal play, object and instrument exploration, and a colorful literature component, baby’s growth and development are stimulated and all senses engaged.
(Toddlers ages 1-3 year olds)
Our Time classes focus on your child's emotional development as her confidence, curiosity, self-control, and communication begin to take shape. This program offers a wealth of opportunities for the child and parent to play, explore on their own and think out-of-the-box using creative movement, hoops, scarves, balls, bean bags, blankets, flashlights and more.
* Language skills are fostered with singing, sound imitation, rhyming and object identification.
* Creative dancing to different musical "moods" develops his sense of balance, timing, and spatial awareness while affirming his urge to move.
