Yoga Classes for Kids in Maplewood, NJ
At The Inner Athlete, we believe that children thrive when they are given the freedom to explore, play, and discover in a nurturing and safe environment. That's why we've created the TIA PreK Prep Program - a drop-off program designed for children ages 2.5 to 4. Our goal is to help young children develop key social, emotional, cognitive, creative, and teamwork skills that will serve them well as they grow and learn.
Our unique space is specifically designed to promote active and meaningful play, exploration, and discovery. From movement and music to art and story time, our program is structured to guide children through both social and emotional development while preparing them for success in preschool and beyond. Our curriculum is tailored to the scholastic level of the group and incorporates daily lessons in arts and crafts, social skills, classroom etiquette, cultural education, dancing, and singing. Within each class, our experienced teacher-coaches lead the students through a range of engaging and fun activities that help them master the basic fundamentals of Pre-K. At TIA, we believe in learning through play and movement. That's why our program offers a sports-inspired experience that balances structure, sports time, craft time, snack time, outdoor play, and more.
We prioritize the health and well-being of our students, taking full advantage of our private outdoor spaces every day that the weather permits. We believe that health is wealth, and our program is designed to give young children the tools they need to succeed in preschool and beyond. Join our team today and see the difference that TIA can make in your child's life!
