Families of children ages 6 months to 3yrs. are invited to join us every Saturday from Sept. 28 to Oct. 19 from 10:00-10:30AM to have a special story time and creative play session at the Goshen Theater.
This class is instructed by Rebecca Choi, Special Education Preschool Teacher at Orchard View Elementary School. Spanish translations will be provided by Goshen Theater Education Dept.’s Teaching Assistant, Irish Cortez.
The focus of our stories will be emotions. Using creative play through acting, songs, and storytelling, children and their parents will work on skills to help recognize a child’s emotions and to help problem solve for the characters and themselves. Through the hands on activities, parents and their little ones will share a fun bonding experience and leave with a deeper understanding of our emotions and how to express them to others safely.
You can join us for the full six week session, or come for as many dates as works for your family!
Tuition for this class series is $10/family for each session.
