Extra Curricular Activities
Health and Fitness - Recent studies show that our society, through the comforts of technology and fast food, enables childhood obesity, which has reached epidemic proportions. Kids ‘R’ Kids knows how important physical activity is to any child’s development, and that’s why our centers include the Kids ‘R’ Kids Health and Fitness Challenge. Our unique Health and Fitness Program provides all the tools for kids of all ages to learn how to be healthy through fun activities. Throughout this curriculum, we emphasize healthy bodies, the food pyramid, family-style dining, and physical fitness. We stress the importance of fair play, team cooperation, and physical well-being.
Foreign Language - There’s no better time to learn another language than during the early childhood years. In fact, a child’s brain is designed to learn multiple languages. We have a Spanish teacher who comes to the school every Friday to teach Spanish to the 3 and 4 year olds.
Dance - Dancing helps even the youngest child express herself with music and movement whether through free interpretation or choreographed movements. We have a dance instructor come every Tuesday to teach a combination of tap, ballet, and tumbling to the girls ages 3 and up. Then, she conducts a class to teach a hip-hop class to the boys ages 3 and up. Kids love to perform and express themselves with music and movement as they gain a great sense of accomplishment while doing so.
Music - Music is an incredible tool used for brain development. Our music programs expose children to a variety of musical styles, cultures, and techniques, awakening their inner abilities. Children have the opportunity to play instruments, engage in singing exercises, and compose their very own musical masterpiece. We also have a music teacher come in every Monday to teach new songs and musical activites to the children ages 1 and up.
Computers - Knowing that our future continues to involve the technology of computers, Kids `R` Kids understands the importance of providing your child with the latest in electronic lessons and games to support the educational themes taught in school. Our pre-k students have the opportunity to use the computers daily with the Headsprout Phonics Program, which teaches them not only pre-reading skills but also basic computer skills.
