EARLY CHILDHOOD

EARLY CHILDHOOD: Education is most important to our youngest learners: children develop 90% of their brain by age 5. That means their brain is almost full grown before kindergarten!

*New Storytime Acting For Kids

Experience books in a whole new way! Classic stories come to life. During the 7-week session we will take a journey through a favorite work of children’s literature. This one-hour class is designed for children ages 4- 5 years old as a great introduction to the magical world of theatre. Our acting sessions allow budding young actors to role play and practice improvisation and storytelling. The final class will have a presentation for family and friends.
