Musical Storytelling | Ages: 3
Go on a magical, musical adventure every week with Ms. Kristin! This term we will be traveling in our special time machine to visit 8 real-life, historical figures who will inspire us to dream big and encourage us to believe in ourselves. We’ll discover art and music of different times and places along the way. Each class takes the form of a musical story, during which preschoolers sing, move to music, read musical notation, learn Italian musical terms, develop appreciation for music, and grow awareness of pitch, tempo, and dynamics – all while having so much fun, they don’t even realize they are learning!

Swim Lessons
The Lenny Krayzelburg Swim Academy offers weekly swim lessons to the students (ages 3+) of the Goldberg Early Childhood Center. These lessons are built into the GFECC curriculum and use the same SwimRight Method® as the swim academy. This builds a uniform platform for students who may take LKSA lessons in concert with their weekly lessons or may choose to continue their skills after they graduate from preschool.
The lessons are conducted by Coach Lia Oberstar-Brown, a former competitive swimmer who swam with the likes of Lenny Krayzelburg himself. Coach Lia brings years of experience in swim instruction of all ages and has a teaching style that motivates all children to learn.
The LKSA also offers lessons as an enrichment option for GFECC students Monday through Friday, 1 pm-6 pm. LKSA lessons are for ages 2+ and the preschool lessons are ages 3+.
Students can be picked up directly from their classrooms to go to their lessons. After the lesson, students may be picked up by a parent or guardian or returned to their classroom.
To set up lessons or a pick-up, please contact Lia Oberstar-Brown, 214-239-7197 or lbrown@jccdallas.org
