Art, crafts, dancing, singing, playing musical instruments, kindergarten readiness, and reading are all part of the activities we offer during our programs for busy preschool age kids. Most programs do not require advance sign-up. However, our Kinder-Set Go!, Music and Movement, Mini Monets are the exception. Kinder-Set Go! registration opens before the session begins, Music and Movement registration opens approximately a week before the session begins.
