Class Offerings May Vary By Location
Art
Young artists are busy building so many skills. In Art Explorers 1, children will explore and play with different colors and textures using everything under the sun as a paintbrush: clothes pins, legos, forks, vegetables, and more. This sensory exploration will encourage motor planning, problem-solving, and cognition, contributing to their growing ingenuity and cognitive development! In addition, we’ll read stories, sing songs, and move about the room to keep up with the energy of your little artist. The best part? Every week, you and your child will create a keepsake project that you can keep forever to remember this fun and exciting toddler stage!
A turtle tambourine, a spiny cactus, an astronaut…these are some of the cool art projects that will be created by your artistic little one. Each week children will create an art project related to a different theme, participate in exploration and tactile stations in addition to performing music and movement activities. This class is chock full of learning and is sure to help develop a love for the arts!
Children in Crayons to Canvas will be mentioning famous artists such as Pollack or Van Gogh at the dinner table. Each week, children explore the aspects of different artists and then create their own version of a project based on that artist’s style. When you ask your child what they did in art class, they will be able to tell you what “medium” they used and describe concepts like space, texture, perspective and abstraction, all the while being given the chance to tap into their creativity and make a colorful mess without the worry! What they bring home will be sure to fill the front of your fridge! Our Crayons to Canvas Class is 60 minutes long and takes place in the Art Room.
Whether your little one is a tiny tot or prepping for preschool, young artists are busy building so many skills. In Art Explorers Mixed Ages, children will explore and play with different colors and textures using everything under the sun as a paintbrush: clothes pins, legos, forks, vegetables, and more. This sensory exploration will encourage motor planning, problem-solving, and cognition, contributing to their growing ingenuity and cognitive development! In addition, we’ll read stories, sing songs, and move about the room to keep up with the energy of your little artist. The best part?

Music & Movement
Do you have a “whirler” and “twirler”? Want a place to channel that desire without committing to a professional studio? Our Dance With Rompy class is the perfect place to start! Your child will learn the basics of ballet and contemporary dance as well as hip hop and jazz! During ballet and contemporary, dancers will learn stretches, warm-ups, floor routines, and a beautiful combination to show off their talents! During hip hop and jazz we will cover the basics of turns, jumps, pops, and locks that will break down the complex dance moves for your little one! This is a parent-optional class held in our art room.
There is so much learning going on at this age! Your baby’s first class at Romp n’ Roll provides opportunities for you and your baby to engage in appropriate activities that help them grow and learn physically and socially, naturally creating a bonding experience between baby and parent. The class is designed with elements such as movement activities to work on strengthening your baby’s back and neck to move them toward mobility, sign language to foster communication and language skills, music time to work on fine and gross motor skills and bubbles to work on hand-eye coordination. Just as important, grown-ups get the chance to communicate and bond with others who understand their exact concerns and questions. This class is chock full of learning…for everyone!
Rhythm n’ Roll is a one-of-a-kind class that combines physical skill building as well as musical enrichment for your 3-5 year old. Children will navigate their way through theme-related obstacle courses designed to develop coordination, strength, and flexibility. Where else could your child fly like a pterodactyl, go on a bear hunt, and have a pajama party? During Music Circle time the children will participate in a variety of fun, and creative music, and movement activities to enhance sensory skills, speech, rhythm, and fine body movements. The children will also participate in activities to build emerging skills like skipping, throwing, hopscotch, and basic sports skills, as well as safe, cooperative participation with others.
Who has rhythm? We all do! In this Gym and Music combination class the children will discover rhythm by playing instruments and participating in movement activities that will help them build a solid foundation both physically and musically. Developmentally appropriate activities combined with musical play give children an opportunity to grow physically as well as socially and emotionally. So, while they’re busy swinging from the trapeze, shaking the egg shakers, and flying down the slide, you can feel good knowing they are growing and learning! This music program is truly one of a kind and combines all genres of music from folk music to classical pieces, from rock n’ roll to lullabies. Developed by Romp n’ Roll, you will not find this program anywhere else!
Music is movement! So, it just makes sense to combine our Gym class with our innovative music program. Our Tumble Tunes 2 class is the perfect combination of physical skill building and the fostering of the love of music through playing instruments, performing movement activities and exercises that focus on basic terminology of music such as rhythm, tempo and pitch. Combine that with an obstacle course where they will “climb mountains”, “walk the plank” and “fly like a pterodactyl” and that sounds like the perfect class! This one of a kind music program combines all genres of music, from folk music to classical pieces, from rock n’ roll to lullabies.

Our equipment and activities are specially designed with your mobile baby in mind – soft equipment arranged differently each week to encourage strengthening across the board. Not to mention the bubbles, sign language, instruments, and movement songs guaranteed to set the scene for a great naptime!
We call these children our “runners”…because that’s just what they do! We provide the perfect combination of independent play time and class activity, working on large muscle groups and fine motor skills through activities like balloons and paddles, ball skills, and parachute time. This vivacious age deserves a vivacious class that will set the stage for an active, healthy lifestyle.
Obstacle courses, cargo nets, rocking domes…oh my! This fun-filled class integrates just the right amount of following directions and introduction to structure disguised as fun! There will be a new theme and a different equipment set-up every week allowing the children to work on various skills, building strength and coordination, and expanding their imaginations! Don’t forget the bubble dance party at the end!
Have more than one child but only time for one class? That was the thought behind this class designed to accommodate children ages 10 months through 5 years old. Don’t worry – instructors will provide an extra set of hands. Want to attend a class with a friend but your children are different ages? This is yet another great use for this class! Older children will participate in an obstacle course while the younger children engage in independent play and airlog activities. All will enjoy parachute time and bubble dance party!

Once your child has calmed down, bring him/her back into the class for more fun and learning.
