Apple Frenzy
Age: 3 - Pre-K
Do you how many different types of apples there are? Your child will have the answer to this and many other apple facts. The perfect class for fall, this class combines the best of cooking with arts & crafts, as well as science. Your child will make apple crafts and yummy apple treats, while learning all about apples.

Creative Cupcakes
Age: 3-5 years
We will start this class by making our own cupcakes, and then we'll get creative. In each class we will decorate cupcakes like you've never seen before.

Fall Science
Age: Pre-K
The purpose of this class is to increase children's awareness of the things around them: the changing leaves, migrating birds and the ones that are staying; temperature changes; and, how people and animals adapt to the changes of the season.

Use Your Noodle
Age: 3-5 years old
What is pasta good for besides eating? You'd be surprised. In this class we'll make jewelry, craft unusual pictures, and taste-test a variety of pasta shapes and colors.

Drama Club
Age: 3-5 Year Olds*
If your child is imaginative and loves to be the center of attention, then drama club may be the perfect class. Children in this class will have the chance to act out Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, The 3 Pigs, The 3 Billy Goats Gruff and other stories either with puppets or as costumed actors. We may even have the opportunity to perform for our classmates!

Plenty Of Pizzas
Age: 3-5 Year Olds
“Pizza” is an Italian word meaning “mess,” and the children in this class will be making lots of mess! Children will be stretching their own dough and making Mexican pizza on tortillas, breakfast pizza and dessert pizza. A mess may be made but when the results are different and delicious, who cares!

Edible Art
Age: 3-5 Year Olds*
Did you know that kids can make sombreros out of sugar cookies, or snowmen out of doughnuts, or ladybugs and spiders out of Ritz crackers, or traffic lights from graham crackers? They can in this class!

Little Scientists
Age: Pre-K
This class will increase your child’s awareness of the things around him/her: the changes of the leaves, migrating and non-migrating birds, temperature changes, and ways people and animals adapt to the changes of the season. Your children will go on nature walks and create individual collages of their findings, read books and participate in hands-on science activities and lessons.

Soup de Jour
Age: 3 - Pre-K
Your child will engage all of his/her senses as they create a delicious soup from a variety of local farm fresh vegetables; such as pumpkin, tomato, potato, and carrots, as well as from a variety of fresh herbs; such as, parsley, basil, and oregano. Children will gain an awareness of how food grows, as well as observe and learn about the seeds and vegetables. Your child will gain a new respect and love of vegetables!

Music, Movement & Art
Age: 3 - Pre-K
Creative expression can come to life in beautiful ways by adding movement, music, a few art supplies, and a dash of guidance. In this exciting and engaging class, your child will stretch his/her imaginative mind and active body into yoga poses, shapes
of the alphabet, and many forms of dance from around the world. Your child will also learn and play rhythms with percussion instruments, perform as a marching band and sing silly songs. Your child will also engage all of his/her senses by observing and exploring unconventional forms of art such as using different vegetables as paintbrushes and using found items in nature to create picture frames.
