74th Street MAGIC (Music Art Gymnastic Instruction Center) offers classes for kids in music, art, and gymnastics (as the name suggests), but it also offers instruction in cooking, science, karate, Spanish, and the performing arts. To create a safe, healthy environment for children to grow physically, mentally, and socially. Housed in the same building as Epiphany Community Nursery School since 1996, 74th St. MAGIC creates a safe, healthy environment for children to grow physically, mentally, and socially. From getting ready for nursery school to landing a back-handspring to preparing pasta primavera, our goals are as individual as our students. 74th St. MAGIC creates a nurturing environment through ensuring our program is filled with laughter, care, learning, and diverse families; helping children gain confidence and independence through positive and constructive interactions with instructors and one another; practicing techniques attributed to the child-centered-classroom including hands-on activities, individual work and goals, and small class size; and cultivating and emphasizing the importance of taking risks and trusting each other and oneself. |
