www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday August 23, 2006 - 25 FALL REGISTRATION 2006 Quality in arts education Getting started on the right foot "We are fortunate to live in a community that offers so many great programs for our children," says The Oakville Academy for the Arts' Director Heidi McMeekan, "What truly sets us apart is our approach to Arts education." The Oakville Academy for the Arts has quickly established itself a GTA leader in lessons in Dance, Music, Musical Theatre and Fine Arts. Our client retention and continued growth are a testimonial to our programs and delivery. Nestled in the heart of our community, The Academy offers programs for children as young as 2 all the way through to adult and takes their mission very seriously. "As a mother and former teacher who wanted the very best for my children I felt there was room in the community for this kind of exceptional educational arts facility." Heidi explains," When you are enrolling your little one in their very first class in dance, music etc there are a number of factors that parents should consider. At the Oakville Academy nothing has been overlooked from the parent's point of view or the child's. All of our 48 instructors have post secondary training in their specialty. As an example all dance teachers have graduated from the well respected teaching programs at York, Ryerson or the National Ballet School. Does this matter when you are working with a three year old? In our opinion it matters as much with a two year old as it does with a student being prepared for university entrance. These professionals know what to teach, how to do it safely and in a comprehensive and fun way. Not only are there full time reception and security cameras throughout the facility, but all instructors and staff have police checks offering extra peace of mind to parents." The school, a state of the art facility with 4 spacious dance studios, double sprung floors and professional stage flooring, is treated like a carefully kept home. Little things like daily disinfection of floors and contact surfaces, excellent ventilation and big windows make it Centre close to many convenient shopping opportunities and Oakville's newest Starbucks, the Faculty and Staff at the Oakville Academy for the Arts are busily preparing for another exciting season.
