Activities
PlayBall
PLAYBALL is an early sports and movement program offered to
children between 2 to 9 years of age that actively incorporates the
development of life skills through the means of sports skills. We teach
the basics of 12 different sports skills. The life skills learned
include confidence, sportsmanship, cooperation, independence,
flexibility, responsibility, persistence, leadership, goal setting, self
worth, respect, positive relations, decision making, courage, and
communication.
It has been scientifically proven that physical activity has a profound
influence on academic performance. PLAYBALL provides children at Legacy
Academy with an opportunity to develop every aspect of their lives.
PLAYBALL owners, Scott and Jennifer Valiquett, are actively involved in
the implementation of the PLAYBALL program at Legacy Academy Snellville
and provide on-going training to coaches every 12 weeks.
"PRE-BALLET" and TAP BALLET
"PRE-BALLET" and TAP BALLET for ages 3 to 5 years of age. These classes are structured programs designed for the early development of ballet and movement. They precisely meet the needs and limitations of preschoolers by providing a carefully paced sequence of exercises to develop physical conditioning with poise and grace. Since children naturally respond to music and movement, the activities are presented through music. In the Tap/Ballet program, children learn self-discipline, listening skills, coordination skills, left and right discrimination and patterns in movement. Top dance studios across the nation offer Creative Movement "Pre-Ballet" and Tap Ballet to age 3, 4 and 5 students to enhance self-confidence and enthusiasm.
Music Care
Music Care curriculum is music enhancement, meaning that we are
here to complement what the classroom teachers are already trying to
accomplish. We have emphases of our own, but the educational needs of
your school come first. Even more importantly, we believe that music
can help us focus on the children's social needs, such as enabling them
to "let down" and "open up." This way they can take in more information
and actually remember it. Something that educators have known for many
years about small children is that "their work is their play." So, if we
can get them fully engaged in a song, using as many of their senses as
possible at one time, then they become a fertile ground for learning.
