PLAY City
PLAY City is an engaging and open environment where children are free to explore imaginatively and interact with each other. There is a slide and many sensory toys as well as clustered play stations that mimic real life environments. Access to the play space is included with selected class memberships or can be purchased separately.

Rug Bug Music
Your child will be swinging and rocking with our inspiring instruments recycled from common household objects. Our classes include original compositions and all-time favorites selected to entertain and inform our students about Earth matters. Whether swaying or jamming, your child will be improving his auditory development and gross motor skills while having an awesome time!

Art
This class is designed to introduce your mini-Monet to the materials, methods, and madness that are the essential elements of artistic creation and appreciation. This is a 10-week hands-on exploration of color, lines, shapes texture and imagination. Each week introduces new and exciting projects using different techniques and mediums.

Lil’ Gym
This class is a body-awareness program that will guide you and your child through each stage of their early development. Borrowing from yoga practices, we have carefully combined tummy strengthening and, later tumbling, exercises with musical, artistic, and imaginative elements designed to captivate and educate. With an eye toward building fine motor skills, auditory development, and bilateral coordination we hold true to our belief that play unto itself is a critical component in seeing that your child thrives in this wild and wacky world they are just yet getting to know. Now, let that chi flow!
