Stay Connected!

IMG_20200503_080509_519.jpg

To manage through crises, we quickly moved our classes online. Our instructors, parents, and students LOVED IT!

It was important to us that our students stay connected with their teachers and peers. For consistency, we moved all weekly classes online and kept everyone's schedule exactly the same. To help parents keep children busy during the morning and afternoon hours, we added enrichment opportunities via Zoom: Makeover Tips, Story Hour, Teddy Bear Picnics, Virtual Dance Parties, and more!

Iowa Public Television heard what we were doing and proudly shared our story.

Learn about our ability to pivot quickly!
