CURRICULUM The 10-week curriculum targets ten developmental milestones. Each week children learn a new language concept and practice its use through gross and fine motor activities, multi-sport activities, story time, music and cooking. Parents learn the progression of language development and easy, functional ways to stimulate comprehension, speech, cognition, socialization and motor development at home. The Chelsea Piers’ state-of-the-art facilities and expert sports instructors provide the ideal environment to introduce a variety of gross motor themes including gymnastics, soccer, yoga, tricycles/scooter play, and dance. With 6 children per class, our student to teacher ratio is 3:1. This small group experience allows for exceptional individual attention and caregiver education. Each class is taught by a special education professional and a Field House sports coach.

If enrolling in two classes per week, please enroll in the Tuesday/Thursday combo. Dates:
