We use subjects they’re familiar with such as animals and toys, as well as their favorite learning tools - pictures, stories, touching, and doing - to enhance social and conflict resolution skills while improving listening, fine-motor skills, and time-on-task. Give your preschooler the information they’re hungry for and be amazed by what they’ll create! Classes are 45 minutes, with a minimum of 5 students allowed
