Sign Language Program
Your older child will have a blast learning American Sign Language (ASL) interactively with singing, dancing, and story time. When an individual signs, language is processed not only in the auditory center of the brain but also the visual and kinesthetic brain centers. Thus, speech memories are stored and processed in three parts of the brain rather than one. A signing child can see and feel the words as well as hear them. When a child signs, she is utilizing different neural modalities and accessing more brain power, so to speak. Fingerspelling helps older children as they learn to read. Sign language helps visual learners integrate new information. All of our classes participate in our Sign Language Program weekly.
Soccer Program
Our soccer program focuses on the FUNdamentals and basics of soccer and sports participation. All of our classes participate in our Soccer Program weekly.
