Stay and Play offers a fantastic opportunity for children to enjoy after-school enrichment or simply have fun with friends. The hours are from Monday – Thursday, 12:30 to 1:15pm. Your child will be escorted from their classroom to the activity selected (see below).
You will pick your child up from their designated space (depending upon the program) at 1:15 pm. All Toddlers and Twos will be picked up at the Playroom. Parents must sign their child out before they are dismissed.
Stay and Play costs $10 in advance and $15 for drop-ins (due by 10am day-of). After submitting the Registration Form, you will be redirected to our eTuition site.
Please Note: If you are selecting a vendor run program (Playball®, Kids Yoga, or Creative Movement and Dance®) during Stay & Play, you will need to pay both the vendor and the PAS Stay & Play fee. Vendor payment instructions are provided in each vendor’s registration form.
Vendor Program Registration Information
The following enrichment activities we will be offered for children ages 3+:
Playball (Mondays) – Pick Up in Gym
Playball is is devised (and continually updated by sports experts, occupational therapists and educational specialists) to use the medium of sports not only to improve gross motor development, increase concentration skills, build low muscle tone, teach children to be competent in hand- eye/foot-eye coordination and improve balance; but sport is also used to teach basic, yet essential life skills.
Kid’s Yoga (Tuesdays) – Pick Up in Scout Hut
Through playful laughter & a sense of adventure children can learn basic flexibility, coordination, body awareness & confidence. If they are feeling anxious about talking in front of the class or having trouble focusing on their homework, children will unconsciously call upon the techniques taught to them in Kids Yoga. The class incorporates the use of yoga poses, children’s literature, music, art, and games.
Ninja Kids (Wednesdays) – Pick Up in Scout Hut
Children must be in the Fours or Fives class to enroll. Ninja Kids teaches children basic martial arts moves and practice. This class is great for gross motor development, coordination, self-discipline, listening, and memory skills. Another great opportunity to learn and move with our own Mr. Scott!
Tap-Ballet (Thursdays) – Pick Up in Scout Hut
A perfect combination class. The class is divided with 20 minutes of tap and 25 minutes of ballet. Since ballet is the basis of all dance technique, the combination of both work hand in hand. The technical training is taught through ballet, which in turn helps teach the proper shifting of weight and patterns in the movement for tap. Since children naturally respond to music and movement, all of the activities are executed to fun music.
Hip Hop Tots (Fridays) – Pick Up in Scout Hut
Children have fun learning dance combinations in “Hip-Hop” dance style. Develop the strength, flexibility, rhythm, leaps, turns, balance and combinations in the center, and safe body mechanics to dance confidently in a social atmosphere. This style of dance is known for fast, athletic movements and body isolations, unlike the fluid movement of ballet. “Hip-Hop” is extremely popular and can be seen in commercials, music videos and concerts. As with all CMD programs, all music and choreography is “age appropriate” and tame.
