About Singin’ Sunshine

Experience "Singin' Sunshine" with Mr. Alden, a 35-minute interactive and educational workshop where we embark on a journey of discovery by planting an imaginary seed. Through the magic of music, vibrant visuals, and active participation, children will delve into the realms of plants, animals, insects, and more. This engaging experience emphasizes maintaining a rhythmic beat through clapping, stepping, and movement, fostering coordination between body and brain.

Multiple interactive moments will aid children in recognizing and understanding their emotions while honing their problem-solving abilities. Amidst the fun, young participants will gain insights into handling emotions like fear, anger, and impatience and developing traits like persistence. Additionally, adults will receive valuable tools to facilitate the development of social and emotional skills in children, promoting their overall growth and well-being.
