Water Play
Water Play is the highlight of every Wednesday here at Holly Street! Water Play is an opportunity for our children to cool off in the summer months with water tables and sprinklers, as well as work on coordination and learn about volume, pouring, floating, sinking, and cooperation.
Every Wednesday, children should come prepared for Water Play with a swimsuit, water shoes, swim diapers (for those not yet potty trained), a change of clothes, and a towel-- all items marked with the child's name. T-3,T-4, 3's, and Pre-K should arrive at Holly Street dressed for morning Water Play (will begin about 9:45 A.M.), and T-1,T-2 will enjoy water play in the mornings (Beginning about 9:15 A.M.). Teachers apply sunscreen to all children during water play unless special instructions are given. There is no additional fee for water play.

Music-N-Motion
Kids love Music-N-Motion with Ms. Linda! Every Wednesday, Linda brings music, dance, and a cast of puppets to Holly Street for group singing and dancing activities. Kids learn classic songs we all remember along with new songs and games, and have every opportunity to shake their sillies out on a Friday afternoon. Music-N-Motion requires a $10 monthly fee and is a year-round activity for children from T-1 through Pre-K. Please click here for more information on what children learn while participating in music activities.
Tumbling with Mrs. Kathy
Kathy Bethurum has been working with Holly Street's kids for over twenty years, helping develop gross motor skills, rhythm, and counting through her fun and age-appropriate tumbling and movement program. While participating in tumbling with Ms. Kathy the children are also working on coordination, balance, turn taking, flexibility, building muscle, following directions and self confidence. It is awesome to see the progression from what the toddlers are doing and then what it becomes in Pre-K. The program is offered weekly to T-1 through the Pre-K class from September through May every year, with an end-of-year recital you won't want to miss. Monthly fee is $25.
Field Trips
Tie Breaker Water Park
Kids LOVE field trips, and so does Holly Street! Field Trips are introduced in our T-3 class as an occasional activity, and continue through our school-agers program with increased frequency. We travel to the Children's Theater, the Pumpkin Patch, the Zoo, Warner Parks, Shelby Park, TPAC, and the Nashville Public Library, to name a few. Parents receive adequate notice when a field trip is scheduled, along with instructions on what to pack and what children should wear that day. We travel by bus to all of our field trips, and we always have plenty of staff to oversee our travels. If there is an admission fee associated with the activity, it will be announced in advance and added to your balance for that month.
