Shayna’s Village

Maitland’s premier provider of mommy & me and young child enrichment classes, Shayna’s Village is a kid-sized village where children (ages 6 weeks to Pre-K) and their parents learn creativity through a variety of activities. Some classes are for both parent and child, while others are just for children.

At Shayna’s Village, your child will have the chance to practice using manners and social skills. We believe in empowering children and helping them gain confidence to handle new situations. We believe that creative activities or activities that “support the arts” are the key to helping wire children’s brains for future learning and success. Shayna’s Village encourages children to take creative risks in a nurturing environment.

Types of Classes
Together Time
Classes like First Impressionists, Baby Rock, and Nursery Rhyme Time are designed to give parents and caregivers a chance to spend meaningful time with their child while bonding and learning together.

Mind & Manners
These classes are designed to give children a chance to practice using manners and social skills while eating lunch in the “café” followed by activities that enhance their minds. Examples of these classes include Artistic Creations, What’s Cooking? and Music Mania.

Power Hour
Classes such as Alphabet Adventure, Lights, Camera, Action!, Bon Appetit! and In the Garden empower children by engaging them in activities that promote cooperation, original thought, creativity and life skills.
