Your teachers are dedicated, have high energy and are super nurturing. Your program is so unique and special that I am trekking from East Village to take my kids there. Having taken classes with my kids to various other Mandarin programs, I prefer your program as it has a warm family feel and motivates children to learn the language. I will recommend your program without reservation to anyone. — Marina, mother of twins in our Chinese Language & Culture Program

On weekday mornings the church narthex is filled with strollers belonging to young children attending playgroups, art, Mandarin, movement and music classes with their parents or caregivers, as well as Ready, Set, Go!, our preschool alternative program. At mid-day, adults take Feldenkrais classes to achieve better breathing and balance. Afternoons the Church House is filled with pre-schoolers and grade school children coming to play soccer, learn about Chinese culture and language, take art classes, or learn to dance. In the early evenings, adults can take Tai Chi and fitness classes from knowledgeable, caring instructors who provide personalized attention. These classes, organized on a nonprofit basis and provided at reasonable prices, are available to all those who are interested. Our convenient Upper West Side location makes it easy to attend our classes. Contact Jennifer Moore at 212-822-8227, x212 or email jmoore@rutgerschurch.org for information and registration.
