WHAT’S SPECIAL AT VGM…….
MUSIC, FITNESS, YOGA, GYMNASTICS, SCIENCE AND SPANISH
VGM offers a variety of special programs to enhance your child’s development, skills, and creativity! To better understand these programs and their curriculum, each of our teachers have written a summary about their teachings.
Yogi Sprouts
Yogi Sprouts is a preschool yoga program that introduces children to yoga in a fun and playful way. Traditional yoga poses are taught using songs, stories and games that both entertain and enlighten the children. Through creative themes and imagination the children are taken on a journey of the heart. They develop an awareness of their own inner wisdom and peaceful ways of relating to others. The class helps develop a stronger sense of self as well as a stronger physical body. Muscles and joints are strengthened and stretched as the children learn to use their breath to focus when poses become challenging. Yoga allows children to become aware of their bodies and their breath as well as improves their concentration, balance and overall coordination. Spoken positive group affirmations allows them to rehearse self-respecting language and to grow their positive self image. Relaxation and creative visualization are used to end each class in order to allow a sense of calmness and peacefulness that continues throughout their day.
Fitness/Gymnastics
This gym class focuses on the basics of gymnastic coordination and movement such as: balance, simple tumbling, hand-stands, simple vaulting, rolling, jumping, crawling, games, obstacle courses and more! Colorful mats and kid-friendly music are incorporated. Themes such as safety and sportsmanship are also an important aspect of this class.
Discover Science
Children have been called “natural scientists”. They are curious and seek out problems to solve. Discover Science is an enrichment program that allows kids to explore their world in a fun, interactive way. During each session, the class will experiment to discover why things happen as they do. The lessons are designed to teach basic science skills – such as reasoning, predicting outcomes, creative thinking and problem solving using fundamental scientific principles. Through exploration and discussion, the students will learn that science is part of their everyday lives and that hands-on discoveries are a lot of fun! Discover Science is taught by Jean Giardina.
Music with LeAnn Malecha
LeAnn will be bringing her love of music to Village Green Montessori.
