Sing, Dance, Play!
This is a 10-week session ( December 4 - February 19 )
Kids of all ages (and families with more than one kiddo) can have a fun and active class together! Your teacher makes sure your family has the best possible experience and the class is age-appropriate by giving options for those in a lap and those ready to move on their feet. Class activities promote the development of small motor skills through playing egg shakers, rhythm sticks, guiros, jingle bells and drums, and large motor skills through dancing, hoops, scarves, ribbons and action songs. Kids are also socializing and sharing.
Cocoa, Cookies & Christmas Crafts
Celebrate the magic of the season at Emery’s Playhouse! Join us December 13th & 14th for a festive morning filled with hot cocoa, holiday cookies, and creative fun — including a Paint-Your-Own Nutcracker kit and ornament-making station! 🎄
