NEW Renaissance Kids
T
En ri c h me nt p r og r a m
he Katonah Art Center is thrilled to announce our Renaissance
Kids Enrichment Program for Pre-Schoolers & Kindergarteners.
Our mission is to provide a hands-on learning environment where
children can be free to explore the arts in a warm encouraging
setting, fostering self-awareness and self-confidence.
We have designed this very special program with two goals in
mind. Our primary goal is to provide a diverse multi-arts environment designed
to stimulate your kindergartner’s imagination, creativity and intellect. Our
secondary goal is to immerse your child in a bi-lingual environment, introducing them to basic Spanish vocabulary as well as, conversational Spanish.
Each day at the Renaissance Room will consist of a mix of story time, art,
dance, or movement and music. Spanish will be incorporated into all of our
day’s activities. Patti Hupp, founder of Miss Patti’s ArtSmart and ArtSmart TV
and lead singer in the Feeling Groovy Band, will be our primary instructor.
Ms. Patti will also have a co-teacher Evelyn Rodriguez,
whose native language is Spanish and in charge of our
language program.
The Katonah Art Center has earned its reputation as
the pre-eminent school of visual and performing arts in
Northern Westchester. In addition to our newly renovated
Renaissance Kids classrooms, our facility houses three
art studios, an Apple computer lab, two pottery studios,
a yoga studio and a ballet studio. The students in our
Renaissance Kids program will spend time in each of our
studios, taking full advantage of everything that KAC
has to offer. We will be using the pottery studio, the art studio, the dance studio
and the yoga studio every week.
Transportation for Kindergarteners will be provided via Mother Hen Transportation, from Katonah Art Center to Increase Miller Elementary School.
Students from KES can take the bus directly from their school to the art center
where they will be met by Renaissance Kids staff. Maximum class size: 12
students. As part of KAC, Renaissance Kids will follow the Katonah-Lewisboro school schedule, including inclement weather delays and closings. Our
school year begins Sept. 23 and ends June 19, 2014. Tuition will be billed in
three payments.

Tai Chi
means, “breath work”. Learn how to use
your breath to reconnect the body with the world around
us. Practicing Chi Gong exercises in conjunction with the
breath will create a balanced flow of “chi.” This Eastern
energy system, thousands of years old, is still widely used
today. Modern science has proven chi gong to reduce stress,
improve our balance and posture, build muscle, regenerate
tissue and bone, circulate blood and most of all, create
inner peace.
Chi Gong
Tai Chi means “grand supreme ultimate”. Connect the
body and breath to the cosmos through this moving meditation. Build a foundation of strength, balance and calm with
these beautiful postures. Using our breath, we will learn to reconnect with our
“chi”, an eastern term used to describe the energy within us, proven to heal.

We try them on privately in our more sentimental moments and
then quickly banish them back to the “hanger of no return”. However, with a
little patience, minimal skill and a bit of vision you can transform these old and
outgrown garments into new, improved pieces for the new, improved you. So
