Every parent appreciates swimming as a critical life skill, and there is nothing like learning to swim at a young age. We operate in small batch sizes with experienced coaching that makes it fun in the pool!

CODING

In the digital age, coding is a basic literacy, and it is crucial for children to comprehend and be able to work with and understand technology. Code is used to operate every website, smartphone app, computer software, calculator, and even microwave. Learning to code at a young age helps youngsters to prepare for the future. Communication, creativity, numeracy, writing, and confidence are all enhanced when children learn to code.

EARLY EXPLORERS

Early Explorers classes are imaginative, playful and at times messy. We provide process art experiences to maximize creative potential and make space for joyful play, encouraging a child to think, inquire and explore. It is through play that children develop physically, socially and emotionally. Children learn to share and communicate with each other through activities such a cooking, play dough, dress up, lacing and threading, singing, painting and much more. Most importantly they learn while having fun.

Classes are taught by children’s book author and publisher, Raya Rahman. At the end of the program, children get copies of the book they created so they can proudly share it with their family and friends.

MUSIC

Music can be a lifelong partner in the form of an instrument, or just spending time regularly to listen to it. The objective of this program is to introduce music to children not just as a hobby but as an outlet in life.
