The CHABAM Program:

CHABAM is The Educational Play Center where Children Have Active Bodies and Minds!

CHABAM is a unique, fun-filled, extra-curricular learning center for children from birth to 8 years old and their families. CHABAM offers an innovative, research-based music, art and movement curriculum like no other facility. A team of multidisciplinary, degreed educators facilitates all CHABAM programming.

The CHABAM Program consists of two innovative segments to enhance the development, creativity and growth of children.

The Creative Curriculum consists of 12-week, progressive weekly classes that "bundle" music, art and movement in each class.

Ready...Set...Grow...! is a high-quality, drop in child development program offering an age appropriate curriculum on an hourly basis.

The CHABAM facility is specially designed by educators as an interactive and educational tool, encouraging creativity and active participation for children. The unique educational play center features an art studio with pottery wheels for little hands, a larger than life interactive tree house, a made-to-explore mezzanine, a one-of-a-kind puppet theater and an 8-foot aquarium filled with South African fish!

CHABAM classes begin soon and registration is limited! Contact us for more information about our hourly drop-in child development program and our 12-week progressive classes. Or stop by CHABAM to meet our welcoming staff and explore all that CHABAM has to offer your child and you!
