WHAT’S SPECIAL AT VGM…….
YOGA, SCIENCE, MUSIC 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.
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.

Kula Kids Yoga Program
Kula (KOO-la) is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning “community of the heart”. In our yoga program we focus on creating a warm and comforting community for the children. Kula Kids continually emphasizes the importance of respecting our friends, our planet and ourselves.
Kula Kids Yoga uses a fun and creative approach to yoga that can be very helpful for busy children whose bodies are developing. The use of yoga postures and basic stretching promotes flexibility, strength and body awareness. Breathing and visualization techniques teach children how to focus, relax and develop self-control. Kids will improve concentration, stimulate their imagination, and release energy in a safe and fun environment. They will explore other cultures by learning basic words in Spanish and French. Through the use of interactive games and postures, the kids will learn about nature, animals and general anatomy.
Kula Kids Yoga teaches children self-compassion, self-acceptance and confidence! They have fun… and they relax, all in a non-competitive environment.
Namaste!
