Our program, which is specifically designed for preschool children ages 3-5, focuses on expressing creativity through producing unique art and exploring music through games and interactive songs. Registration is $95, and includes an art & music supply fee. Tuition payments are divided into 9 equal payments (August—April) of $75 a month. Students are required to be age 3 by Sept.1 to be enrolled in the program. All children must be completely potty trained.

Information & Daily Schedule

In this exciting class, students get to explore music though our Music Play and Music Time curriculums students learn about movement, echoing, rhythms, play acting, and get to experience a wide variety of age appropriate musical instruments. The art program, taught by our certified art teacher, gives the children a “process” based art experience. They can see what happens when colors mix, feel dough in their hands and develop their natural creativity, and let their imagination soar, while also learning the basics of art. Students are able to experience many different types of art media throughout the course.

Our day is similar to a typical preschool day. We have centers upon arrival, and then the morning is divided into two groups, where one group will experience instruction in music and the other in art. Midday we take the children outside (weather permitting) to play on the playground. This is followed by our lunch time. After lunch the groups switch and go to art or music. Our day concludes with story time.
