The ShiningStars ENVIRONMENT

Developing a safe, fun, & nurturing group environment is critical to the advancement and success of our little ShiningStars. In fact, it's one of the core foundations of our success.  By working through our curriculum as a group, we are able to provide a supportive environment where children can develop personal responsibility, self-control and good decision making skills. We encourage our ShiningStars friends to be brave and confident, which sometimes asks them to reach outside of their comfort zone. This process can take some time, but every step they make is rewarded with praise for doing their best.

Our approach of introducing children to drama and theatre provides endless opportunities for our little ShiningStars to be creative and expressive, learn to work well in small groups, and develop their emotional and social skills...all while having a great deal of FUN!

*Finding inner confidence to "Introduce Yourself!"

*Exploring what various feelings are and how to use our feelings to be "Expressive!"

*Working through our monthly "Tongue Twisters!"

*Growing our imagination through drama inspired games and activities!
