My work philosophy with young children centers very much on child-led inquiry. Children are capable of constructing their own learning. They are driven by their interests to understand and know more.

With younger children from infants to pre-walkers, they experience the world and gain knowledge through their senses and motor movements. This stage of development is also known as sensorimotor development. Regular music and movement sessions help nurture this area of development.

This playgroup focuses on singing, music and movement for both parent and baby/toddler. Singing and dancing is a great way for your child to develop social skills as well as for you to bond with your child. Studies have shown that regular singing sessions help to broaden your child's vocabulary and listening skills which are an essential part of learning to read, write and communicate. Music has a special power. It lights up all areas of child development: intellectual, social and emotional, motor, language. It helps strengthen concentration and memory skills.

What to expect?

• Storytelling (Good reading habits start young!)
• Music and Movement (use of visual props for eg, puppets, dance scarves, ribbons, musical instruments)
• Sensory activity (craft work, process art, messy play)
• snack time (after 45 min session)

Our structured classes involve repetition to support learning but there will be a theme of focus each season to keep the babies and toddlers stimulated.

We will have a circle time for snack-sharing. Parents are welcomed to stay on for a chat while your children enjoy some free play.
