This fall, Centennial Park (600 Nickerson Drive) will be open for classes on Saturdays with new offerings for children through a partnership with the West Coast Creative Academy. Creative Academy owner Kristin Scott will provide a slate of nine unique classes at Centennial Park several days a week from September through December.
Designed to nurture the creative spark in your child, these classes include age-appropriate Dance offerings that provide students with a sample of popular dance genres including jazz, hip hop, ballet and tap (for ages 3-11). During Musical Theatre class, young performers (ages 5-14) will sing, dance and act in an upbeat and joyful environment while preparing for a December performance. Students in the Mini Musician class (ages 5-8) will learn to read music and understand pitch, rhythm and tone through interactive games and play. Music and Movement classes help children to develop a musical ear while exploring music and instruments through movement and song (for ages 1.5 to 5). Finally, exploring song, dance, theatre and art from a different country each week is the focus of the Art Around the World class series (ages 5-14). Each of these classes are presented in a 12-week session offered at $180 (sibling discounts and scholarships are available). Days and times vary by class. To learn more, visit prcity.com/recreationonline and search West Coast Creative Academy.
A new after school enrichment program called the Doodle While You Noodle Homework Club has also been added to the Centennial Park schedule this fall. This program is designed for kindergarten through 5th grade students to support their classroom learning. Students will engage in homework with assistance and accountability from Linda Zalamea (AKA Ms. Z), an educator experienced in teaching and tutoring. Doodling, drawing and coloring breaks will be sprinkled throughout the afternoon to provide a creative break.
The Doodle While You Noodle Homework Club happens on Mondays, September 12-November 7 from 2 to 4:30 p.m. in the Centennial Park Acorn Room. Registration for this 8-week program is $125 per child (scholarships are available).
Beginning Tuesday, September 6, the Centennial Park afterschool drop-in basketball program will resume in the Centennial Gym. The gym will be open after school until 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday for this free non-custodial activity. Basketballs are provided for players to use.
