You can begin taking your baby to these programs from birth and continue until your child is 7 years old.
Birth - Walking
Parents participate with their baby in activities, which encourage his awareness and growing motor skills. Toys such as rattles, foam wedges, balls, and music are used to develop co-ordination, balance and rhythm.
Walking - 2 years
Still with parents participation, a more structured session uses repetitive rhythmic songs to nurture language skills, toys to help build fine motor skills and climbing, rolling and running activities to strengthen large muscles and develop an awareness of size and weight.
2 years-3 years
Your child is now up and running and eager to do things for himself. With his new found independence he is encouraged to build his gross motor skills through pre-sports activities which enhance his strength and agility using hoops, balls, obstacle courses and jump ropes. Music and song is still used to develop a sense of rhythm and social skills.
