Class Descriptions

	CUBS: 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 yrs A child's brain is "under construction until age 3. Providing a stimulating environment affects how a child's brain is "wired" for life. This parent participation class uses a variety of props, songs, and games to engage toddlers in participation activities. Simple motor skills are stressed. Class favorites - like parachute and bubble time - build physical coordination, explore early language skills, and pave the way for growing social development.
	TEDDYS: 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 yrs TEDDYS is a progression class for CUBS, and while it's still a parent-participation class, we work towards strengthening the child's autonomy, challenging listening skills and cognitive awareness. Additionally, more advanced motor skills are stressed.
	BEARS: 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 yrs We use a variety of props and age appropriate games to introduce children to group activities, emphasizing motor skill development and social interaction. BEARS participate in game-like scenarios that introduce basic soccer skills and team work.
