LearnGarden for Tots

Learn with joy.

Children in this series are ignited with joy for learning as they experience story-based acting, music interpretation, and creative and intellectual journeys through theater.

Stories are performed with imagination and spontaneity.  Books, language, music, drawing and tot-level group think are incorporated into expressive, high-energy productions that light up the senses and stimulate the mind.

What is it?

A "mommy-and-me" Play-N-Learn workshop for children ages 2.5 - 3.5 years.  Each workshop lasts one hour (45 minutes, with question and answer sessions for parents afterwards).  Maximum for each workshop is 5 children. 

During each workshop, children are introduced to a storybook, encouraged to act out the roles with music, improvised costume pieces and imagination.  Children are allowed to create their own stories inspired by what they hear and see.  Drawing is introduced to help connect ideas and spoken language to written words and symbols.  Captivate your child’s inner scientist with science experiments as well!  It is intellectual play at its very best.  Parents and nannies are welcome to participate!

Also, KinderBrain-Play workshops will be available this Fall.  This fun learning workshop is focused on a major academic subject – reading, writing, math or science – taught through play and hands-on activity.  This is a teaching workshop for parents desiring to learn techniques for use at home.  

Support your young child’s academic start while building a most harmonious relationship!   Sign up for one of these workshops with your child today!
