Tot/Preschool n n n

Recreation classes for little ones offer many benefits.

Early exposure to music helps develop areas of the

brain that involve language and reasoning. Students

of the arts learn to think

creatively and solve

problems. Dance helps

children mature physically,

emotionally, and socially.

Sports will build motor skills,

teach responsibility and

teamwork, and encourage a healthy

lifestyle. Kids that are active are

more likely to continue being

active as they get older. Parks Make Life Better.
