Circle Time In The Park
Thu May 12, 10:45 AM - Thu May 12, 11:15 AM

Gather 'round with Trinity as we spend time together exploring different languages, developing social skills through show and tell, and assisting her as we read today's story. Then, let's get up, warm up, and let loose with Rajio Tasio, groove in Zumba, learn more about animals and their sounds in yoga, and conclude with a peaceful introduction to breathing meditation.

About Circle Time

Circle time (more common in the US and UK) refers to young children between the ages of 3 to 7 sitting together forming a circle to take part in activities that increases their awareness of languages, physical and sensory experiences, develop social and emotional literacy, learning supportive listening, helps promote gross motor skills as it improves coordination and rhythm, builds a sense of community, and encourage positive relationships between the participants from different backgrounds and cultures which gives them the foundational tools to engage with each other in later years as they prepare for school and beyond.
