Extras
At Kids-A-Lot we take our fun seriously. With multiple outdoor playgrounds, each designed for different ages and motor skill levels as well as active indoor activities, our students are exposed to a broad variety of games and playtime fun. From circle time -- singing and reading activities -- to creative movement to craft projects that are both fun and educational, your children will enjoy a wide variety of activities that will stimulate both their bodies and minds. Play time consists of both structured and unstructured activities to enhance social interaction as well as creativity.
Karate
Ethereal Arts is committed to teaching the "Science of Self Defense." In other words, Kenpo Karate is not a force against force contest where the strongest wins.
All children’s sessions are focused on practicing respect, patience and guidance for the art. Children are interactive throughout the sessions and learn many valuable life skills and lessons through the weekly sessions that are held right at the Kids A Lot location. Karate sessions are open to preschool children that are potty trained.
Field Trips
Field trips are part of the program. We believe that children can learn as much outside the classroom as they can inside the classroom. Children whom do not want to attend and will need to stay home for the duration of the outing. Our staff will always request parental permission prior to any and all field trips.
Spanish
Spanish is offered as part of some of our classrooms' daily curriculum by our bilingual staff.
Yoga
As part of each families monthly tuition for ages YT-5's, Kids-A-Lot will be including Yoga for all our classrooms. The session will take place within each classroom on the designated day and time that is established between KAL and Mrs. Krista (yoga instructor).
