Go for the Gold!


Vino hopped his way into our Underhill play space this morning to teach our Explorers' favorite music and fitness classes. Vino has been teaching the class since Kisha left for her South Carolina family vacation last month, and his energy and enthusiasm have been such a hit that he just may steal the spot light from Kisha next class session and teach the class all on his own!
It may be a toddler enrichment class, but that doesn't mean that the adult chaperones in Vino's class get to take a break! When it's time for the parachute to come out, it's all hands on deck, as the adults move the colorful parachute up and down and around and around while the children play underneath, around and even on top of the fabric. Especially appreciated is the effort displayed by Carly, Luca's nanny, who gets so involved in class that we're beginning to suspect she's using it to save money o a gym membership!
Any of our neighborhood Explorers can sign up for one of our classes, but our resident tots at Explorers Club enjoy benefits even beyond our in-house classes. Beginning in March, Brittany and Gayla will lead the 1-4 years-old children down the road to Brooklyn Ballet, where they'll be enjoying once weekly ballet class on Tuesday afternoons. For a fully well-rounded arts educations, the group will also being taking art classes at a local artist's studio. At their weekly art camp, they'll begin by learning the art of storytelling through puppetry.
The Olympics have drawn to a close, and with the Americans winning a record number of medals, let's take a moment to recognize our Explorers Club tykes, who all performed wonderfully in their own athletic games, including the egg and spoon race; the feather between the toes race; and the balloon between the knees race. Congratulations to the cutest athletes in the borough!
