Echo Park's enrichment classes develop body awareness, language and listening skills, self confidence, social skills and expression of ideas and emotions.  Enrichment classes are taught by talented teachers with extensive early childhood education knowledge, and offer your child experiences that can't be matched by other area pre-school programs.

 

Safari Club

Jump in your 4 x 4 and grab your binoculars, it's time for Safari Club!  Your child will learn about a different animal each week, including what it eats, where it lives and its general characteristics.  An animal encyclopedia organized by continents will also incorporate a geography component.

Steps to Science

Steps to Science is a year-long science experience with emphasis on exploration, investigation and simple experimentation of scientific concepts. Each week your child will bring home a ‘science sack,’ which will enable him to share the concept learned that day. Some of the topics covered include weather, gravity, machines, body parts, astronomy, geometric shapes, and many more. With a new topic every week, the learning never stops.

This program presents your young child with activities that help spark an interest in observing and questioning the world.  The physical and natural sciences are covered in ways that help him learn and ask questions by doing. 

Computers

Computertots--specialists in computer-aided education--have put together an exciting program for your child.    Computertots' certified teachers introduce your child to age appropriate software and the latest peripheral devices (touch windows, mice etc.) The aim is to allow your child to interact with the computer in a positive, enjoyable way and to appreciate the computer as one of many learning tools. Introduced in a discovery-oriented fashion, each lesson is filled with laughter and learning. Computertots is an additional option to the day.  There is an additional fee for the Computertots class, which is billed directly each month by Computertots .

Gym

The gym enrichment program engages your child in games that will augment skills developed in our special physical education classes. Your child will further her throwing, catching, running, striking and skipping skills  through simple group games, relays, basketball, volleyball, football and floor hockey.

Spanish

Classes are taught on an appropriate level for each age group that attends.  Children who have had Spanish in previous years will advance to their next level.

My Storybook

A library enrichment in which a story is read covering a variety of literature and a subsequent page is made.  The pages will be bound into a book to be taken home at the end of each semester.
