All three-year-old and four-year-old classes at the Roslyn Trinity Co-op complete a series of yoga sessions led by Ms. Hseih-Vigilis, from Little Lotus Yoga in Port Washington. Yoga for children focuses on playfully introducing poses, breathing and relaxation techniques. In addition to strengthening a child's physical skills and increasing a child's body awareness, yoga enhances coordination, focus, self-esteem, and teaches ways to cope with stress. 
Not only do the children greatly benefit from the creative and fun annual program, the Co-op teachers have also been given tools to incorporate yoga into their classrooms throughout the year.

Children from the Roslyn Trinity Co-op stretch, slither, sashay, twist and twirl during the creative movement and dance program taught by professionals from the Alvin Ailey School in Manhattan. The Alvin Ailey School encourages children to "think creatively and listen attentively while they develop rhythmic awareness and learn the healthy habit of exercising at an early age." During the six-week program, the children explore a wide variety of activities that enhance gross motor development, strengthen balance and coordination, develop body and spatial awareness, and increase vocabulary, all while enhancing their self-esteem.

Before Valentine's Day, the children at the Co-op enjoy a visit from a Roslyn Post Office letter carrier. In preparation for the visit, the children set up a post office in their classroom and purchase a stamp for their individual valentines, which are mailed home to their families. As the letter carrier makes his way to each classroom, the children gather around him to learn about his job and to touch his heavy mailbag. The students are engaged as they learn how the mail travels all around the world.

The Roslyn Trinity Cooperative Day School recognizes the importance of teaching preschoolers about the necessity of safety and wellness in their daily lives. Annual visitors to the Co-op include a pediatric dentist, a firefighter and a health professional who demonstrates the importance of proper hand washing.
