engineering and mathematics — cours-es, tutoring, academic enrichment classes and early education classes, all taught by esteemed teachers, pro-fessionals and industry giants who are bringing in a wealth of experience to the center.

“Our instructors’ backgrounds and areas of expertise is one of the very special things about Gifted University,” Joe said. “At one time, the only way we parents would have had access to talent of this caliber would’ve been to read about it in magazines or see them perform at a concert, but instead we get to work with them daily and watch them share their gifts with our students.”

These teachers, who all undergo a nationwide background and criminal history check, and are CPR-certified, include an instructor with a Ph.D. in physics, dancers, engineers, touring musicians and other experts.

In addition to after-school classes, Gifted University is fostering imagina-tive family time from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., offering early educational programs and activities. Giftedville is a little city at the university that features

with public schools in the area, Gifted University complements what students are learning by offering additional enrichment classes in a supportive, engaging and exciting environment, where they can feel confident in their individuality and their gifts.

“We believe that every child has a gift,” Shelly said. “Everybody has some-thing that they do very well. Sometimes it comes naturally, and sometimes they explore and realize they really love it. We wanted to create an environment where kids can explore their natural talents and gifts. It would be amazing if they could all do things that they’re gifted in and love to do. We really want parents to embrace that and to sup-port their children while they discover their gifts and develop their gifts with confidence.”

Gifted University’s programs cover a broad spectrum of topics that include music, dance, art, sports, foreign lan-guage, STEM — science, technology,

a bakery, fire station and other themed areas for imaginative, open play. Parent-and-me classes, such as art classes with finger-painting, dance classes with creative movement, and more, are also offered.

“We’re really passionate about learn-ing, passionate about kids loving educa-tion, and passionate about every child discovering their gifts and embracing those gifts,” Shelly said. “Once you have kids, you begin to notice, ‘Wow, my kid really does this well, and they really love it,’ and you see their joy when they do it. As par-ents, you really understand how gifted kids are, especially when they’re young, and how that can change as they get older if they’re not allowed to really explore that. So we want kids to explore their gifts in a fun, exciting, safe and supportive environ-ment. The community support and response has been amazing! A lot of parents are already preregistering.”

Gifted University’s individualized programs are designed to fit a family’s budget and schedule. They are all cus-tomizable, so parents have the option of introducing children to multiple disci-plines all at once. Class start dates and times coincide with the school year, and registration is open.

Gifted University is located in Suite 200 at 13848 Tilden Road in Winter Garden. For more information or to sign up for after-school extracurricular activi-ties, call 407-877-4438, email thegifted@gifteduniversity.org or visit www.gifteduniversity.org on the Web. You also can join the mailing lists and receive compli-mentary passes to Giftedville, exclusive savings codes and event invitations.

Imagine a state-of-the-art facility that offers a space for children to learn a variety of extracurricular activities right in their own community. Gifted Universityprovides just that — and more. This learn-ing center gives its students the means to explore and cultivate their individual tal-ents, gifts and interests, while also offering classes, open play and other activities for children as young as 6 months old.

Igniting your children’s passion for learning can be a daunting task when
