Wednesdays: Traveling Storytime

We also integrate Redwood City Public Library's award-winning "Traveling Storytime" into our curriculum. According to a 2006 study, children who receive the services of the Traveling Storytime program display a 91% proficiency in self-regulation, as indicated by an ability to display appropriate social behavior, stay focused, and react appropriately during story time. Offered to Hummingbirds, Owls, Redbirds, Woodpeckers and Eagles.

Thursdays: Physical Education
A local provider teaches confidence skills at an early age by integrating positive speech. Along with positive conditioning, children gain coordination, flexibility, and beneficial brain development, as well as cooperation, sharing, and patience. Offered to Owls, Redbirds, Woodpeckers and Eagles.
​
Fridays: Music
A local provider of a creative movement and dance program teaches children traditional and new songs. Children play with a large variety of simple instruments including tambourines, cymbals, maracas, triangles and different types of drums. Children also interact with puppets, use rhythm sticks, bean bags and streamers. Many of the activities promote cognitive development through the use of numbers, colors, shapes and letters. Through movement, children work on coordination, balance, flexibility, strength, spatial awareness and positive body image through fantasy play and games. Activities will help children to develop fine and gross motor skills. Offered to Owls, Redbirds, Woodpeckers and Eagles.
Tuesdays: De Colores Spanish Immersion Circle Time
Encouraging bilingualism in early childhood allows children's awareness about the world around them to be broadened. Our Spanish Immersion Circle Time program reflects the interest and concerns of teachers and parents that Spanish language is a relevant, positive, and enriching experience for our community. Offered to Hummingbirds, Owls, Redbirds, Woodpeckers and Eagles.
Daily: Sign Language
​
We teach Sign Language to older infants and young toddlers using Baby Signs to foster early communication of basic needs. We continue to teach American Sign Language in the other classrooms because sign language benefits children in many ways, including language proficiency and learning other languages.
