As part of our curriculum, each program participates in several enrichment activities. All
enrichment programs meet several times per week. Whether or not your child participates
in a particular program will depend on the number of days they will be attending school.

Our Fitness program, taught by Miss Kim Ligarzewski, a
certified physical education teacher, is designed to offer
children an opportunity to develop their large muscles as
well as introduce them to basic sportsmanship skills. This
is achieved through a variety of group games and other fun
activities that will help develop skills such as skipping,
hopping, jumping, and throwing. Yoga and stretching
activities will also make up a part of our fitness program.
Good sportsmanship is always encouraged through a
positive attitude and team approach. The gym program is
held on Monday's each week.

| COOKING |
Students will develop language and math skills during their
classroom cooking time. Children will have an opportunity
to make basic "kid-friendly" items while learning many
essential skills, which will include developing fine motor
skills. Age-appropriate cooking activities will correlate
with the current theme of each classroom and will include
a story relative to the theme of the week as well. Food
allergies are taken into consideration and modifications will
be made! Children love this hands-on learning experience
and look forward to the many fun recipes they will be
making!

book from their classroom library. Books must be
returned each week in order for children to check out
another book. This opportunity allows children to learn
how to be responsible and care for books.
