Kick & Play's family-friendly classes help tots 12–24 months old develop pre-soccer skills and physical skill sets simultaneously. Pintsize players and their progenitors can enroll in the Kick & Play program for four weeks of fun summer classes in July or August. During classes, a team of talented and enthusiastic instructors and an athletic duo of puppet friends named Mimi and Pepe buoy budding soccer players with positive reinforcement, individual attention, and the merry clickety-clack of cleated tap dances. Designed with the help of early-childhood specialists, each age-specific class helps players build skills at their own pace with positive reinforcement, individual attention, and engaging original music. Developing toddlers will learn to balance, run, kick, play, and aerate soil during noncompetitive activities. Classes are 40 minutes if playful dribblers don't hide their coach's stopwatch.

Although buying pottery pieces in a store is easier than making your own, it isn’t nearly as satisfying. At Supermud Pottery Studio, it’s this impending satisfaction that leads students aged 3 to adult toward creating their own mugs, vases, and bowls during interactive classes and children's summer camp. Pupils learn the basics, such as hand building or wheel throwing, from experienced teachers as they shape blocks of lifeless clay into utilitarian pieces or sculptures with actual heartbeats. Finished artwork may even reside in the studio's gallery, which displays inimitable ceramic works by both renowned artists and Supermud alumni.
