Fine Art for Tiny Tots (3 & 4 year olds)
This program introduces your child to the fine arts in a meaningful way. Each day includes its own fine art emphasis. If you choose the three day program, your child will participate in Music, Art and Foreign Language emphasis. In the two day program, your child will receive Music and Spanish. Children in both programs will be exposed to academic fundamentals in Language Arts and Math through meaningful developmental exercises and fine art instruction.
The “Mis Amigos” Program: In addition to their daily curriculum, this program will instruct your child in the Spanish language. Introducing Spanish vocabulary and phrases through conversation, your child will begin to understand Spanish, sing songs and be on their way to becoming fluent in the important language.
The “Petite Monet” Program: In addition to their daily curriculum, this program emphasizes art, drawing and painting. Children will begin to learn and distinguish dimensions, properties of color and shape. This is a great advantage as children are learning to improve on fine motor skills before the school age years.
The “Little Mozart” Program: In addition to their daily curriculum, this program exposes children to different rhythms, instruments and music. We begin ear training at this early age and do rhythm & beat exercises. They also will begin to learn the value and meaning of notes and beats and indulge in crafts meant to reinforce musical concepts.
