Tot/Preschool

Tot/ Preschool n n n Recreation classes for little ones offer many benefits. Early exposure to music helps develop areas of the brain that involve language and reasoning. Students of the arts learn to think creatively and solve problems. Dance helps children mature physically, emotionally, and socially. Sports will build motor skills, teach responsibility and teamwork, and encourage a healthy lifestyle. Kids that are active are more likely to continue being active as they get older.

Tutu Toddlers (Ages 1½-3 yrs) Our goal in this division is to work with you to engage your little one and give them an introduction to ballet they’ll never forget. Why?

Class requires parent participation.

Special Interest Baby Sign Language Introductory Workshop Stop guessing what your baby is trying to tell you and start spending more time fulfilling your child’s specific needs. Baby Sign Language gives parents the opportunity to communicate with babies long before they can verbalize their wants and needs. Signing with babies accelerates language development, reduces frustration, and deepens the bond between parent and child. This workshop is based on American Sign Language (ASL) and is designed for parents with babies who range in age from birth to 18 months. Fun activities and songs will show you how easy it can be to integrate baby signs into your daily routine and jump-start your child’s verbal skills. Babies are welcome but not required to attend. $5 materials fee due to the instructor at the class. For more information visit www.TouchBlueSky.com. Instructor: Touch Blue Sky Instructor

Senior exercise is an important part of the health and wellness of seniors. It helps increase your metabolism, energy levels and alertness. Research shows that those suffering from chronic illness benefit from exercise even if it is done while sitting in a chair. Chair exercises are great for older adults, those with disabilities, poor balance or anyone who has trouble standing or getting on the floor to do exercises. They are always gentle on the body and generally safe for most people to do. It is always a good idea to talk to your doctor before beginning a new exercise program, but you are not likely to injure yourself doing any of these exercises. Bring a 5 lb. dumbbell weight with you to the first class. Be sure to wear loose clothing and comfortable, supportive shoes. No cost. Location: ACC, Park View Day: Monday/Wednesday/Friday – Ongoing Time: 9:15-10:15am
