This art class is a combination of process and directed art. The process art sessions are child-directed, choice-driven, and celebrate the experience of discovery. The final product is always unique and the focus lies on the creation of the work, not the outcome. The directed art sessions will start with an introduction to a famous artist. Inspired by one of the famous artist's art projects, the child will choose how to move forward. Children will explore different materials and techniques to cultiovate self-discovery and creativity. Clay, watercolor, chalk, oil pastel, and tempera paint are among the many media we will incorporate. For more information contact Masumen Zarei at mzarei@wcsks.com.

Rock Band is a chance for students who love music to get together and play some great songs.  We do songs at all levels of difficulty for all experience levels.  Rock Band is a great motivator for beginning students to practice and learn a new instrument.  We can typically get a complete beginner involved in a song the very 1st session.  If your student is more experienced we also do more complicated songs.  If your student already plays an instrument this is an opportunity to learn how to play something else.  The class is performance based but they do learn some basic musical terminology.  We perform any songs the students want to play within their ability level.  If you are interested, you may come to a class or two to see if you like it at no charge.  We have a concert in May.  Come and join lovers of music in ROCK BAND!

Did you know that expecting young children to attempt using a writing tool before laying an appropriate foundation can actually create bad habits- or ineffective grasp and movements? Using a writing tool is one of the most complex skills children will learn to do. We need to be careful that we aren’t expecting them to do too much too soon. Students in this class will have fun developing their sensory, visual-motor, gross motor, attention, and fine motor skills to ensure a solid foundation for eventually learning to print. Weekly activities will be presented and shared with parents and caregivers so that ongoing practice with these appropriate activities can occur. Students will learn finger plays, activities to promote eye-hand coordination, and some basic tool use that will promote the development of prewriting skills. Kristin Freed, Occupational Therapist keeps the class size at 6 in order to provide individualized instruction to facilitate each student’s development regardless of their ability. She has over 20 years experience working with young children and has proven success helping students be successful learning to write through her Write Stuff classes.
