“What if my child doesn’t like to sing?”
No problem! We are a diverse group of educators ready to provide access for all children in a variety of ways. Singing is not the only form of play! Children in our camps will sing, speak, move, smile, draw, paint, interact, improvise, laugh, and play! We have an entire social and emotional curriculum planned flawlessly into our schedule.
“What’s your ratio?”
As we charter into new and fully inclusive territory, an area some people may be slightly apprehensive or cautious of, we are fully committed to refusing a ratio. It may seem boldly unheard of, but it is, in our opinion, the least restrictive, skill-building, and positively life-improving approach for all the participants in our theater! To restrict our children’s needs and individualism into defined numbers of support is limiting. We maintain that safety is our priority, therefore, we are always staffed with a high number of adults, behaviorists, and special education experts who will support and provide opportunity for all children as they learn the beauty of diversity!
“What does the daily schedule entail?”
Great question! Every day begins with singing and movement, followed by breath and humming to regulate the nervous system. This is our focus for all children, not just those who experience neurological differentiation. We plan for consistency, routine, and exploration through shared experiences of peer interactions and natural opportunities for growth through theater arts! The schedule is emailed to parents the week prior to the beginning of camp.
“What should I pack for my child?”
Please pack a snack each day. Water is also helpful as the facility has full air conditioning, but the groups may decide to venture outside and want to be hydrated through our play! Snack will be daily at 12.
“What should my child wear?”
Please wear comfortable shoes and loose-fitting clothing. For the performance, each child will be asked to wear comfortable black attire on Friday, August 2nd at 12:30 for the performance. If you need any black clothing, let us know! (We’re theater-folk; we have tons of black ;)
