On-site Dance & Yoga programs for daycares and schools
Since 1998!
About
Since its founding in1998, CKMN has been dedicated to enhancing the lives of families by offering on-site dance and yoga programs in daycare centers, nursery schools, and elementary schools. Our programs provide a unique opportunity for children to explore dance and yoga during the day, eliminating the need for families to sacrifice evening or weekend time to engage in extracurricular activities.
We are committed to delivering an age-appropriate curriculum taught by caring, skilled instructors who are passionate about inspiring young minds. Through our FUN, CREATIVE, and POSITIVE approach, we aim to engage children and nurture their growth as both dancers and yogis.
