Parent and Child Classes

Enroll Now for Summer 2012 Classes

Get ready for preschool at CMOM! Small, intimate classes give adults the opportunity to observe and learn about their child’s unique learning style. All classes meet once a week and include a snack.

As part of CMOM's health initiative, classes will include activities developed with experts from the National Institutes of Health. This first of its kind health curriculum will introduce you and your child to fun strategies and activities that incorporate healthy choices into your everyday family routine! (In addition, all parents will receive specially designed activity handouts that they can use at home with their child)

Preschool Adventures

Ages 14 months - 2 years
Explore art and science concepts using finger paints, shaving cream, balsa wood, sand, water, play dough and tempera paint. Build listening and language skills as children share ideas and practice new vocabulary in group storytime. Children work independently to find creative opportunites to build math skills through block building and serving food; social skills through dramatic play with puppets, animals and dolls; fine motor coordination through puzzles and shape sorters; and body awareness and confidence as they climb and explore in interactive classrooms. Further develop language and social skills in Circle Time with music, instruments and sensory box exploration. Classes include a snack.
