- a fun learning experience

is not simply a "gym" or "playgroup" for children and babies, but an educational centre aimed at helping parents and carers learn about the importance of early childhood development in relation to later school learning.

offers research based programs led by trained teachers using specialised equipment and activities to stimulate your child's physical, psychological and social development.

Above all, is a lot of fun - Parents, babies, children and carers love it! Through this fun learning experience infants and children develop critical skills that provide foundations for later literacy and learning.

aims to embrace all the wonderful natural developmental activities of early childhood and is a positive experience giving you quality time with your child. Our activities include bouncing, rolling, swinging, spinning, jumping, tumbling and climbing.

- Class Structure

Our centres carry out a definite routine (so loved and important for child development!). Each term is planned over a 10-week period, with a term theme and a weekly topic related to that theme.

Classes for Babies are slightly different than the toddler's classes.

- Class (Non Mobile & Crawlers)

A 30 min (45 min for Crawlers) precious quality time with your baby will give you the opportunity to learn how to provide activities at home to help your child learn about their world and get a jump-start on their education

Most of our infant sessions focus on tummy time to help your child to gain the important sensory-motor stimulation required for learning. Research has proved that tummy time is one of the most important stages to help your child to learn more about himself and his environment.

The classes are graded non mobile and mobile (rolling, commando crawling and creeping) and cover activities such as massage, auditory activities, movement, gentle exercises, music/rhythm/dance, visual (eye tracking) plus lots and lots of ideas for tummy time.

- Toddler Class

Throughout the term we cover various areas of development - gross motor and fine motor. The sessions offer a certain routine for your child and some challenges as well throughout the term. A 45min class includes:

• Free play - Each lesson begins with 10 min free explorative play on our large equipment and is a nice time to socialise with other parents and children. Free play is followed by the loved…
• … Mat time - Mat time starts with bubbles and music. The parents and children are invited to come and sit on the mat together as a group and sing a hello song. Small equipment skills (balls etc), exercises, massage and a dance will follow. Each exercise is shown and explained to you to enable you to do the same at home. This 20 mins on the mat finishes with our special treasure bag time which follows the theme for the term. This is loved by the children and is important for language, social interaction, tactile experiences, imagination, and reinforces the word for the week which is quickly flashed to your child. This stimulates memory and pre-reading skills. Being fully involved with the activities of your child is beneficial for all children and enhances love, security, joy and learning.
• Equipment time - Another 10 mins on our specially designed equipment will give the chance for your child to exercise his skills. We have a whole room full of equipment where your children can experiment with their bodies and their own personal capacities. Teachers are always nearby to offer guidance and teach new skills. Older children will enjoy the challenge of following the circuit and practising new movement exercises. The equipment circuit is changed every two to three weeks to introduce new challenges. We positively encourage and not force. This must be FUN!
• Music time - The session is concluded with music and parachute time. Each week we have a musical instrument to play and dance with and our big colourful parachute comes out for the children to lie under or play games with. Then everyone sings our traditional goodbye song and goes back home with the week's picture and word for their scrapbook to use and talk about at home.
