Special emphasis will be
placed on the use of the
Equitas program, Play It
Fair! which is an innovative
program implemented in
our daycamps and after
school care program
which increases children
aged 6-12 understanding
of human rights, respect
for diversity and peaceful
conflict resolution. The
Play It Fair! Toolkit contains
interactive age appropriate
activities and games that
provide a starting point for
children to discuss issues
in their lives and work
together to find ways to
promote inclusion, respect,
fairness, acceptance and
cooperation. This unique
approach succeeds because
the children are having
so much fun that they
don’t even realize they are
learning!

1-4 yrs
Instructor: Sylvia Richman
This is a great, fun way to intoduce your child starting
around 1, 2 or 3 years of age, to artmaking without
tears. Sylvia has been working with little ones for the
past several years and has established a routine that
works well for them. It is very important to allow for
considerable repetition of the newly learned skills, to
ensure familiarity, comfort & success. Sylvia introduces
them to peeling stickers, coloring with markers,
stamping with different stamps and colored inks, and
most delightfully, - fingerpainting with hands and
brushes, using only non-toxic, water soluble materials.
At the end of the session, each child usually has a
scrapbook (featuring a photo of the tot on the cover),
filled with his/her art made in the classes. We build in
time to play with toys during the last 10 minutes, so the
adults can glue the artwork into the scrapbooks after
each session, (sometimes with the help of the child.)
Each child must have an adult present at the session.

“The Art of Teaching
Tennis with Storytelling!”
Children as young
as three and a half
wait impatiently to fly
yellow ducklings over
a mountain to find the
mother duck. They
shout in relief as their
duck flies safely above the crocodile lurking at the foot
of the mountain. And when their duckling returns, the
odyssey begins again. Le Petit Tennis method engages
children in role play to teach the game. They create
images and stories for the tennis equipment, techniques
and boundaries to learn the pillars of the game. Coaches
use a series of stories, colorful books, games, small-format
courts with decorations and age-adapted equipment like
large inflatable balls, lower nets, and bigger rackets to
teach. No class Feb 9 & Apr 6.
