For parents, back-to-school season is more than just shopping for school supplies and new clothes. It’s about setting your child up for success in the upcoming school year. Many things can impact your child’s academic performance—from the foods they eat to the friends that they make. Did you also know the air they breathe can affect their success in school? Poor air quality may cause health problems like fatigue, headaches, allergic reactions, and other types of irritation that can detract from your kiddo’s ability to focus on learning.

The good news is that improving the quality of the air that your child breathes is not as out of reach as you may think. Molekule air purifiers don’t just collect indoor air pollutants, they destroy them. In fact, Molekule’s Air Mini and Air Mini+ purifiers are even FDA-cleared for medical use to destroy viruses and bacteria. While you can’t control the indoor air quality in your kids’ schools,Molekule air purifiers can help improve the air they breathe at home while they make their way to the head of the class.

Rochambeau, The French International School offers a bicultural and bilingual education to internationally-minded students starting from age 2 through 12th grade. Our academic program is based on the French National Curriculum, a comprehensive world recognized educational program, with a strong English component. From the day children start their schooling in Maternelle, French is more than a subject: it is the language used to tell a story, play outside, explore nature, sing songs, or talk over lunch. Very quickly new students grasp the nuances of moving between languages, and they also become appreciative of the multitude of languages spoken on campus and in the world. Rochambeau students not only acquire a linguistic advantage, the learning environment is such that they truly do become bicultural.
 Rochambeau optimizes students’ potential by giving them as many opportunities as possible for their future. Having a broad base of knowledge, the ability to analyze and think critically, and an understanding of the world from different perspectives, Rochambeau graduates are bicultural and bilingual, often multilingual. With both a US High School diploma and a French Baccalauréat, they choose to continue their education in the US, Canada, the U.K., France or anywhere in the world.

Chickenshed NYC is the inclusive theatre company for young people of all abilities and backgrounds.  We are the American cousin of London’s Chickenshed Theatre Company, which for 45 years has pioneered inclusive theatre programming.  Our programs are infused with the belief that when everyone is included, everyone flourishes.  We build a strong theatrical community in a fun, nurturing environment.  All programs and events take place at Manhattan’s 14th Street Y.  Our programs include:

Chickenshed Players are our inclusive theatre classes for kids and teens.  Children in Chickenshed Players 1 (ages 5-7) explore the world of theatre without the pressure of performance, while kids and teens in Chickenshed Players 2 (ages 7-10), 3 (ages 10-13) and 4 (ages 13-18) create an inclusive community that produces an end-of-term full musical production.  Chickenshed Players’ no-audition policy means that everyone can play.

Adventures from The Shed are immersive and inclusive performances for preschoolers and their families.  Using puppetry, music, movement, storytelling, sign language, and a bit of theatre magic, our talented Teaching Artists guide families through a 30-minute Saturday morning show.

Chickenshed NYC’s inclusive mission means that everyone can be included, regardless of finances.  We offer payment plans, reduced fees, and fee waivers.
