About The Movement Center and Staff
|
 THE MOVEMENT
CENTER offers classes in movement, music, and creative dramatics for infants and
toddlers. Our goal is to create a nurturing atmosphere in which your child may
grow socially, physically, emotionally and intellectually. Classes are carefully
designed for each stage of development from 5 months to 5 years. Activities are
presented in a supportive, non-competitive environment providing positive
learning experiences while bonding with parent and child through movement
and music. Emphasis is on play,
exploration and experimentation in a creative and challenging setting.
Each child is accompanied by a parent
or primary caretaker who participates throughout the class. |
