Learning Charms | Charlotte occupational therapy, speech therapy, Mommy and Me, and handwriting tutoring for kids!

Our Mommy and Me classes are enrolling now for January's start date.  Thank you to the many parents who have patiently waited to me to start these classes!   Our Mommy and Me classes focus on sensory development and fine motor and pre-handwriting development.   All classes get to enjoy time in our gym as well as small group time in our studio.   The classes will be led by me, and are for any parent wanting to enrich their child's development.  I'll give you lots of ideas, and tricks of the trade to help you to boost your child's development.   In addition, I'll be glad to answer questions too!  Classes are for babies through 4 year olds.   Check out our class schedule.  Tuition starts at only $65.00 a month!  

As far as summer seems to be from us, this is the time that I start putting together the curriculum and schedule for our 2nd year of summer camps at Learning Charms.  

Camp Schedule and registration will be available on February 1st.   Camps will begin in early June this year.  Campers will enjoy our new gym springboard, balance beams, obstacle courses, and trampoline. 

Returning camp themes will include: handwriting (manuscript and cursive), Fine Motor Madness (crafty focus to explore and improve fine motor skills), Fancy Letter Girls' Camp (journaling, friendship bracelets, crafts--rising 3rd-5th girls), and Sensational Speech (speech therapist led).  Some newbie camps include:  Little Fancy Girls' Camp (rising K-2nd), Recycleable crafts and green thumbs, and more. 

I hear it every year about this time, "I wonder if I should hold back my child or if he/she is ready for kindergarten?" or "I wonder if he is on target for skills needed for kindergarten?".  

To help parents, we are offering appointments to screen for kindergarten readiness skills. This is an economical way to determine if your child is on track for kindergarten readiness.  The good part is that you get plenty of information for a good price...plus you will know in advance what your child may need to work on before August is here.   These screenings are completed by a pediatric occupational therapist and are $120.   Read more about them here or call the office to make an appointment.
