STORYBOOK SPARK ADVENTURES

STORYBOOK SPARK ADVENTURES

Target Levels:  Agees 4 - 6

A story-based, hands-on enrichment course designed for young learners (ages 4-6) to experience learning through movement, music, creativity, and play.

Give your child a joyful introduction to learning with Storybook SPARK Adventures, a hands-on, story-based enrichment course designed to spark curiosity and creativity. Each week, we’ll bring a beloved children’s story to life through music, movement, art, and playful STEM activities, helping kids develop creativity, coordination, and critical thinking skills in an engaging and interactive way.
Children will sing, dance, create, experiment, and explore, all while building foundational early learning skills. Whether they’re acting out a story, constructing a simple STEM project, or discovering rhythm through music, each lesson transforms learning into an exciting adventure!
This class is perfect for families who want their child to learn through play, build confidence, and develop a love of learning in a fun and supportive environment.
