Welcome to an inclusive, loving, and FUN full curriculum class! This class is perfect for any learner who is ready to build foundational skills, or those who may benefit from a fun way to review and solidify skills they have already gained; great as a supplement or curriculum for homeschool families. Many different learning styles and modes will be incorporated in every class meeting. Themes will be utilized to incorporate high-interest learning and keep learners excited for each and every week! Lessons will include music, movement, fingerplays, chants, rhymes, crafts, sharing, and more!
