At Belmont Cooperative Nursery School (BCNS), we believe in the power of collaborative learning. That’s why our preschool is a Reggio Emilia-inspired parent cooperative. Parents, teachers, and children all come together to learn and grow in a nurturing, play-based environment.
Our curriculum is designed with each child’s unique interests in mind. We recognize the beauty, capability, and curiosity of each child, and our educators create a curriculum that reflects this uniqueness. From ages 2 years 9 months to 5, children can explore, grow, and learn in a supportive community.
This ten-week program will be held for an hour on Tuesday afternoons at 2:30pm, following Extended Day. All children currently enrolled in BCNS are invited to attend. Children will engage in a variety of movement during the course of the 10 weeks. They will be able to explore their bodies through a variety of movement opportunities including (but not limited to) dance, gymnastics, yoga, movement games, and obstacle courses. The goal of this class is to foster an environment where children feel free to explore movement that feels natural, fun, and freeing while developing a love of dance.
