Enrichment Classes Included with Tuition
Wednesdays: Traveling Storytime
​
We integrate Redwood City Public Library's award-winning "Traveling Storytime" into our curriculum in which a traveling librarian reads specially selected books to the children. According to a 2006 study, children who receive the services of the Traveling Storytime program display a 91% proficiency in self-regulation, as indicated by an ability to display appropriate social behavior, stay focused, and react appropriately during story time. Offered to Hummingbirds, Owls, Redbirds, Woodpeckers and Eagles.

Alternating Thursdays: Physical Education
A local provider teaches confidence skills at an early age while integrating positive language with positive play. Children gain coordination, flexibility, and beneficial brain development, as well as cooperation, sharing, and patience. Offered to Owls, Redbirds, Woodpeckers and Eagles.
​​
Fridays: Music
A local provider of a creative movement and dance program brings music to life with traditional and new songs. Various instruments introduce children to the world of music with ukuleles, tambourines, cymbals, maracas, triangles, drums and more. Children also interact with puppets, rhythm sticks, bean bags and colorful streamers. Many of the activities promote cognitive development through the use of numbers, colors, shapes and letters. Through movement, children work on coordination, balance, flexibility, strength, spatial awareness and positive body image through fantasy play and games. Activities help children to develop fine and gross motor skills. Offered to Hummingbirds, Owls, Redbirds, Woodpeckers and Eagles.
