More than just playtime

The Cherubs Clubhouse has really been rocking all summer! Many have come for open play to beat the heat. The mother's day out program has been a success! It is the perfect place to come play and party.

If you haven't checked our class schedule in a while, please visit www.cherubsclubhouse.com and click on "learn." The purpose of the Cherubs Clubhouse is so much more than providing a safe place for children to play and providing one of a kind birthday parties. We offer classes at the Clubhouse to provide enrichment opportunities in addition to the playtime. The classes do more than just educate the children or provide them with "something to do". They provide a community for the children as well as the parents. The classes are an instant playgroup for the children. The kids in class together begin to know each other and feel comfortable interacting together outside of the classroom. All classes include 30 minutes of playtime following the class. This is when the kids can freely interact with each other and learn to play together.

How often are we distracted by housework, our jobs and television when we are at home with our children? Many of our classes include the parent or caregiver in the class. This is a perfect opportunity for uninterrupted "mommy and me" time. Dance classes are now being offered on both Mondays and Tuesdays. Call 621-2123 for more information about dance. Piano and Kindermusik classes are offered on Thursday mornings and afternoons. Call 437-3478 for a schedule or email imaginationsmusic@bellsouth.net.

Do you remember being a kid and playing all over the neighborhood? I remember going through walks in the woods with my cousin and walking 3 or 4 streets over just to drop in on a friend. Do you remember being a kid and going outside to play with friends? "Playdates" did not have to be orchestrated. You simply walked outside and and that's where all the other kids were. Today, you don't see many children walking to the nearby park to play or exploring the neighborhood. Kids seem to play only in their own yard or at home with their video games and computers. The Cherubs Clubhouse provides a safe place for kids to experience a little bit of that freedom and imagination we had growing up. Check our website for an open play schedule this summer and let your kids join us for playtime!
