Exciting News

We are excited to announce that our program has been awarded a grant from the Grosse Pointe Foundation for Public Education for the creation of Music and Movement Resource Kits. By enhancing our music and movement component, we can support development in the areas of social, emotional, physical, cognitive, language, and motor skills. Music supports many areas of our curriculum including giving children confidence in moving through space, gaining control over their bodies, and the ability to keep a steady beat. It exposes them to aspects of language such as rhymes and alliterations, and gives them opportunities to express themselves and build a strong sense of self.

Thank you to the GPFPE for all you do to strengthen our schools and our community! We will post updates as materials are purchased, assembled and explored by our children!
