What your child’s day will look like

Come bring your little one to explore all of their senses with Teacher Jane at JAMaROO Kids Noe Valley! Save the mess at home, and let us provide your little with the fun sensory experiences that are so important to their development! Let their little hands explore and create their own masterpiece, and explore all of their curiosities in a safe and fun environment! Discover textures with different mediums, such as paint, sponges, craft paper, elements of nature and more! In the JAMaROO Kids Sensory Art classes, we will pull our inspiration from our monthly curriculum, nature, and the changing seasons using our books, puppets, & music to enhance the class: providing a full sensory experience. Children will explore different art mediums while fostering speech & language development, and exploring textures, colors & shapes. At JAMaROO Kids all of our music, dance, yoga and art curriculum is developed to support and foster all five key areas of development: Cognitive, Speech & Language, Gross Motor Development, Fine Motor Development, Social and Emotional. This class includes: Sensory Play and Art 15 MINUTE EXPLORATION TIMES: We are eager to build community together as we open our JAMaROO Kids Club!
