Here is a sampling of programs available to you:
Arts-n-Crafts: We have classes for children ages 2-6 that allow children the opportunity to explore various art mediums and develop their own sense of style. Classes for children under 3 require parent participation.
Cooking: We love to have kids in our kitchen! Your child will enjoy mixing and pouring and stirring…but the best thing of all is TASTING their creation.
Science: Watch your child’s eye light up as they discover how and why things happen! These classes are taught using a hands-on format with age-appropriate materials.
Playschool
The Sharron Baucom - Dale City Recreation Center (or SBDCRC for short) offers State licensed pre-school classes for children beginning at age 24 months. Our classes for 2 year olds are developmentally based and encourage the children’s independent development of social and fine and gross motor skills. Our 3 and 4 classes teach kindergarten-readiness objectives based on the VA Dept of Education’s Foundations for Education. Our classes offer the children the opportunity to develop their skills in a constructive learning environment. Our Fall 2008 registration for new customers will begin April 14th.
