The SK program familiarizes these young students with community helpers, our local Fire, Police and EMS professionals. The focus of the program is on teaching safety on the playground and while riding a bicycle, as well as fire, railway, home and community safety. Traffic and road safety is taught by a Police Officer through "Elmer's Seven Traffic Safety Rules" and highlights include a puppet show and visit by Elmer himself. At the conclusion of this engaging class the children head outdoors for a guided tour of the Village where they are encouraged to apply the lessons they learned in the classroom.

Participants of the grade 1 class are greeted by Sparky the Fire Dog who escorts the students to the fire classroom. In this interactive room that replicates a real home, students talk to a firefighter to learn how to avoid and stay staff during a fire. This program includes planning a fire escape route, illustrates the importance of having and checking smoke alarms and the guidelines to follow should they come face to face with a real fire.

Our most popular program at the Village is our grade 2 safety program that offers students a fun and educational day culminating in a chance to cruise the outdoor Village in one of our pint-sized jeeps. The program is taught by a police officer who challenges the students to learn and then identify safety rules and safe practices in the home and in their community. The interactive classroom learning is followed by a safety walk through the Village, and the jeep ride.

Voice lessons are offered for all ability levels and in all styles. I was trained classically at Michigan State and Florida State University but most enjoy singing pop and musical theater for my own personal enjoyment. I am happy to help you achieve your goals in whatever style you are interested in. My philosophy on teaching voice is that the techniques used can be applied to any style successfully.

Ukulele lessons are offered at the beginner through intermediate levels. If you’re a fan of America’s Got Talent winner Grace Vanderwaal or are simply intrigued by the island sound of this instrument we can help you get off your feet and on the path to enjoying playing the ukulele. This is also a fantastic instrument to begin learning on for younger students who would like to eventually play the guitar. Ukuleles are smaller instruments perfect for smaller bodies and the basics you learn will translate directly to the guitar even if the chords are not exactly the same (although many are very similar!) Must have your own ukulele to bring to lessons.
