American Sign Language Lessons
Based on respected research (including a longitudinal study by University of California at Davis) learning sign language can yield considerable benefits for children, including: helping to activate formative links in the developing brain, enhancing verbal language development, building vocabulary and refining motor coordination. Our Center combines these lively lessons with music, games, stories and dramatic play. Conducted by Lora Heller, MS and Board Certified Music Therapist.

Private Computer Lessons
In a fully-equipped lab, 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds learn to use the mouse and keyboard, draw, save, print and access CDs while working with educational software. Provided by Little Bytes Computer Learning Institute.

Yoga Exercises for Children
3-, 4- and 5-year-olds have fun while they learn postures derived from yoga. (They roar while practicing the “lion” pose, moo while doing the “cow” pose and meow while doing the “cat” pose!) While being happily entertained, children are strengthening their bodies, learning to breathe and focus attention, engaging their five senses and even releasing anxieties through sound. Conducted by Melissa Rizzolo, Certified and Registered Yoga Instructor.
