Get ready for another fantastic year of creativity, laughter, and theatre magic—because Drama Club is making a comeback, and we’re bringing all the fun with us! We’ll revisit favorite activities from last year (can you say Murder Mystery Party?), while adding exciting new events along the way. Drama Club will meet once a month from August to May, offering an ever-changing mix of activities designed to spark imagination and deepen students’ love for theater. From local show outings and table reads to karaoke/master class nights, character-themed events, and interactive drama games, there’s something for everyone—whether you love being on stage, behind the scenes, or just hanging out with fellow theatre fans. There may be optional costs for field trips and special events, but the core experience is all about fun, friendship, and growing together as performers. Join us! Let’s make this year our most dramatic (and fun) yet!

Piglet's Playgroup is a weekly session for children ages 1 - 4 and caregivers to nuture their creative relationships. Through meaningful, sensory rich experiences including dry and messy sensory play, playdough provocations and collage tables, and paint exploration stations we will play and learn together, picking up powerful skills like problem solving and making friends. We believe in child-led learning. There is so much power (and joy) that follows when you provide your child with the space and tools to discover themselves through sensory rich, meaningful exploration. We hope you'll join us and share moments of joy magic together this fall. Caregivers will leave with an understanding of the benefits of sensory play and tips on how to encourage this journey together at home. Dress for a mess!

Through facing these challenges, they build a solid fitness foundation of strength, flexibility, balance, control, creativity, and discipline. Students play challenging games with others to help grow their social and emotional skills through playful connection. We view parkour as a team sport and teach our students to support and encourage each other through their challenges. Parkour is a training discipline focused on how to use your challenges to grow physically, mentally, and socially. Practitioners aim to get from one point to another in a complex environment, without assistive equipment and in the fastest and most creative way possible. Parkour includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling, quadrupedal movement (crawling) and other movements as deemed most suitable for the situation and challenge.
