Activities

Preschool Program by FUNTIME EXPRESS

Music Time: Each child is given a real musical instrurment to learn not only sounds, but to learn how sounds can come together to create harmony and fun. There will also be Preschool music played from Cd's.

Story Time: Story time can be so much fun when you have puppets to act out the stories. Children can really get into a story when it's told by something that has tons of personality.

Arts & Crafts: Letting children spark their own creations is more than just coloring & painting. It's their expression. Learning colors and shapes is easily taught when it's fun. Lot's of supplies on hand so no project is to small.

Outdoor Activities: I feature a Gardening activity that teaches children good nutrition. Children will learn how to grow fruits & veggies. We will be doing explorations and learn about bird's, insects (good bugs & bad bugs), plants, rocks, and soil. There's lot's of fun to be had with a Sandbox, sand & water table, outdoor kitchen, workbench with preschool tools, garden table, tetter totter, chalkboard easel, mini basketball hoop, climbers and slides, and ride on toys. For the school age children we have the basketball court, soccer goals for games, wiffle ball, yard games, swingset which also has toddler swings as well, and all the crayola sidewalk art kits.

Summer Time: Summer playtime is focused on having fun while staying hydrated. The fun part is being drenched on the outside, and being quenched on the inside. Children will have fun with many water toys & games such as water balloon wiffleball, wacky sprinklers, and much much more. No hot day would be complete without freshly made snowcones topped with 100% real juice instead of sugary syrup mixes.

Being a Kid at Heart never leaves you, Being Safe & Smart is always the Right thing to Do.
