They will paint seascapes, underwater themes, landscapes, flora, and learn about the animals living in their natural habitats. There will also be an introduction to Master Artists of Impressionism, Expressionism, Contemporary Art, Caribbean Art and they will explore art across cultures. They connect the visual arts to other disciplines to interpret the world. Each child will take home their own “Masterpeice!”
Rock, Smocks & Animals – 14-24 months, 2-3 years, 1-4 years mixed age
Join on an animal adventure as we jump with the frogs and hop with the bunnies and learn about a new animal every week. Start out groovin’ to the guitar, bouncing with the balls and dancing with your friends as you sing along with all types of instruments. As they wait with anticipation to meet the star of the show, “The Animal of The Week”, they play and learn with toys that are similar to the animal visitor and just before he comes children settle down for a story. Once the special animal appears kids get to touch, enjoy, and hear all about him. Every other week the class pulls out the paint, glue, feathers, sand and more as they create their own animal masterpiece. This one-of-a-kind class isn’t over until you meet all of the animals in the indoor petting zoo.
Animal Care Class
This one-of-a-kind after school program will give your child the rare opportunity to spend time with live animals and to develop the important science skills of observation, classification and communication. Using a hands-on approach to learning, your child will participate in age appropriate science activities, stories, fun games and creative crafts. Every session will include actively caring for our friendly critters, up-close animal encounters and time to record observations. Before it’s time to go the students can read an animal themed book or just relax with a favorite creature on the Farm.
Prices are available on their website – take advantage of family memberships to receive benefits on all their different programs.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
