ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS
Learning Goals
At Carousel of Progress Academy, we are dedicated to supporting your child's growth in essential life skills. Our learning goals, tailored to children ages 12 and up, to improve motor skills, social interaction, and eye contact, which are crucial for students with special needs. We aim to enhance their ability to follow directions, extend attention spans, develop a strong work ethic, improve body alignment, and boost public speaking skills. Our programs are designed to cultivate self-expression and creativity, and most importantly, give students a sense of purpose and the motivation to set and achieve personal goals. Each of these programs is crafted with your child's unique needs in mind, ensuring a supportive, enriching experience that goes beyond traditional learning.
Drama
In our drama classes, students explore various roles through script reading and performance, delving into musical theater, film, and stage acting. These activities are not only fun but also instrumental in developing public speaking skills and improving social interactions, including eye contact.
Martial Arts
Martial arts training offers a unique blend of physical and mental discipline. Students learn martial arts forms and the basics of Eastern philosophies, enhancing balance, coordination, and self-esteem. These classes are more than just physical exercise; they are a journey in mental discipline, confidence building, and social skill enhancement.
Dance
Our dance classes, encompassing styles like tap, jazz, and hip hop, are designed to promote physical health and improve motor skills. The focused techniques help in controlling body movements and developing balance. Beyond physical benefits, these dance classes are a platform for your child to engage socially and improve their eye contact in a fun, energetic environment.
“Our mission is to have a place for children to express themselves, learn social skills, improve fitness, and develop their own dreams.”
