PUPPET SHOWS
Urban Brain and Body, LLC has recently piloted a new program that conducts puppet shows for preschoolers with the goal of teaching how to be a good friend and how to accept individual differences. The presentation is broken into four parts: the introduction, the show, an interactive coloring activity, and a “thank you” to close out the show. Depending on the size of each class, the show's duration is approximately one hour long.
Our Director of Outreach and Advocacy started doing these presentations for students from preschool age to 3rd grade throughout the East Bay area in California with much success. Each show is tailored to fit the individual needs of each class (i.e. splitting the classes into different groups and presenting multiple times, then bringing everyone back together to do the coloring activity at the end).
Our Director of Outreach and Advocacy visits preschools across the community to teach this important message through the medium of a interactive puppet show. Though the theme is based on a child with autism, the concepts can be generalized to skills that build healthy social relationships.

WELLNESS PLAYGROUPS
Urban Brain and Body is launching Inclusive Wellness Playgroups! Our one-hour playgroups are designed to educate children ages 4-7 on whole mind and body wellness through various play activities. These playgroups will be held on one Saturday every month. Each month will have a different theme and each activity will be based around that theme.

The hour is set up to have a greeting circle, one structured play activity, a snack break, and a final free-play activity. Our playgroups consist of 8-10 children of differing developmental levels. The goal of these playgroups is to not only educate children on wellness, but to also facilitate social interaction.
Join us for our next playgroup on February 15th, 2014.
Cost: $30/child
