We believe it is important to provide more than just "daycare" services to our families. We have developed wonderful enrichment programs to add to our quality childcare. In the past we have offered programs such as swimming lessons, beginners judo lessons, dance instruction and basketball camps to our children. Our enrichment programs are offered at all Martha & Mary sites, and are open to the public. Currently, we are offering dance classes, a martial arts program, Spanish, and Hooked on Phonics©. The dance classes meet once a week for 30 minutes or 1 hour depending on the age of the child. There is a "Creative Movement" class for 2 & 3 year olds which meets once a week for 30 minutes. There is also a "Ballet and Tumbling" class for children 3 years and older which meets for 1 hour once a week. Our "Ballet and Tap" class for children 3 years and older meets for 1 hour once a week. The Martial Arts program is offered to children who are at least 4 years old. Preschoolers who are 4 & 5, and who have been approved by the instructor, can take a 30 min class each week. In this class they begin to build the fundamentals that will be needed to work towards preparing for the green belt test. For school age children grades kindergarten through sixth, there is a 1 hour class each week. This class begins teaching the children the requirements needed for passing the green belt test. When children are ready, they will be able to take the green belt test with the instructor. Typically, this will take about one year for a child to achieve. Beginning in kindergarten or first grade, it is possible for a child to pass the black belt test before they go to junior high. Our Spanish program is offered to children 3 years and older. The program has been developed specifically for younger children. Repetition and enacting words are key to learning at this age, and each lesson is reinforced with a fun game or activity. Small group classes meet twice a week for preschool and half day kindergarten children at our child care centers. Individual instruction is available for children in the M&M Kids’ Club program. Our Hooked on Phonics© program is offered to children ages 2 1/2 and older. The program meets for twelve 20 minute sessions a month. Group sizes are limited to no more than 3 children to ensure each child recieves individualized attention from the instructor.
