Students will practice developmental skills in this class including, matching, grouping, listening, tearing, coloring and exploring new media. They will, with parental assistance, make games and other activities to play and learn basic pre-reading and language skills. Activities will be chosen for each class based on developmentally appropriate criteria for children in this age group. At the end of each class children will have practiced small motor skills, experienced the joy of crafting or literature, and will have practiced following directions.

While my professional experience is extensive, the heart of my passion is kids. I love playing with children to help them learn.
