Compton Children’s Academy, Enrichment Classes – Programs
Piano
Piano is an amazing enrichment for early childhood education. Our weekly Piano Enrichment Class — offered September through June — will help to further a diverse skillset for your child, such as fine motor skills and self-confidence.
Music is a language; young children can learn faster and easier while they’re young so they can develop a lifelong appreciation for music as an art. Learning music improves little one’s experience in a variety of subjects. Math and music, for example, are highly intertwined. Children will become familiar with complex concepts — like divisions, fractions and patterns – with fun and ease.
Our piano teacher, Deborah Gibson, has over 60 years of piano experience and a Master’s in Education (M.Ed.), with licensure through the Commonwealth of Virginia for Professional Counseling (LPC).
Make up classes will be available to students who are unable to attend a class.
At Compton Children’s Academy, we understand that three and four year olds are experiencing a special time in child development. This is a stage of rapid learning and vivid imagination. Our Preschool Prep Program is a unique preschool experience for your three and four-year-old children.
Soccer
Our Soccer Enrichment — offered for seven weeks for the Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons — is an excellent way to build children’s fitness, social skills, and self-esteem. Lil Soccer stars learn to develop endurance and speed through simple, age-appropriate drills. These drills also promote stronger bones and muscles in young children. Soccer support social skills in kids by encouraging cooperation, interaction, and teamwork. And because soccer’s emphasis is on the team’s success, rather than individual players, soccer encourages healthy self-confidence.
