Plié Playschool
What is it? As a new mom herself, Ms. Miriam realized the need for preschool students to have a program designed for children who weren't ready or desiring of a traditional preschool program. So she designed a program that would welcome preschool-aged students who would benefit from the free flowing social interaction and emphasis on the arts. Plié is a part-time childcare program focused on play-based learning through movement, creativity, and social emotional growth. Our movement program includes dance, art, theater, yoga, sensory play, outdoor and nature education, and special guest artists in rotation. Plié Playschool at Durango Dance is a license-exempt childcare program. Who can attend? We are currently accepting boys and girls ages 2.5-5. Students must be potty trained (special needs students are encouraged to speak with the director about how we may be the best fit for them and how we can best accommodate them). If you feel that Plié would be a great fit for your little one, please complete a Registration Application form, located at the bottom of the page. Once completed, applications may be emailed to plie@durangodance.com. Hours of Operation: Plié operates Monday through Thursday from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm. Extended hours for up to 4 children is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-4pm. We offer 2 to 4 day attendance options. Plié families may choose the days that work for them. We offer 10 student openings each day on a first come first served basis. Enrollment will be open at 3 points during the calendar year to accommodate our three semesters: Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Testimonials:
"Our son loves his time at Durango Dance and often asks us to go on Saturday even after attending a full week with Plie. We love that he gets to spend time outdoors and in the dance studio and that he gets some much needed time with his peers! We have seen a dramatic improvement in our sons speech as well as his social skills since he started attending Plie last fall. Both the staff and and the parent community have been a wonderful." -Linnea
