Enrichment and Extended Day Programs

Children also benefit from grade-level special classes offered quarterly within the Enrichment programs. These may include:

Art - Children explore art processes and express themselves and their learning through two and three dimensional creative works.

Chess - Basic chess skills help improve problem solving through visuals and group play. Instruction includes creative, age-appropriate activities.

Soccer - Children learn foundational skills, as well as the meaning of teamwork and sportsmanship. A supportive environment encourages practice and play.

Dance - Children learn basic Tap and Jazz dance steps and techniques, while developing balance and coordination.

Drama - Through role-playing, storytelling, and improvisation, a student builds confidence in communication and presentation as well as develops richer oral language.

Gymnastics - This non-competitive environment is designed to enhance each child’s self-esteem, balance and physical ability through musical warm-ups, developmental floor work and progressive tumbling skills.

Music - Children have fun listening to and playing musical instruments, singing, and developing the musical skills of rhythm and pitch.

Children are also given time for outside play to exercise their muscles and minds. Outdoor play takes place in a variety of spaces on the Covington Road Campus.

The Early Childhood Playground provides opportunities for gross motor play with fixed play structures, tricycles, swings, and a sandbox.

Lili’s Garden provides a more natural space which encourages fantasy play, as well as a place to play musical instruments, dig in the pea gravel pit, climb trees, and paint or read in the gazebo.

The Clubhouse Yard is filled with a variety of large loose parts that the children can manipulate to make their own play structures. For example, there are large pipes, pebbles, tree stumps and planks, a water table, and a mud kitchen
