Great question! Our fantastic program blends the fun and lively nature of preschool and the structure of kindergarten. Here, our students gain the confidence to tackle new challenges and dive into learning with enthusiasm. We sprinkle in early literacy and numeracy concepts to equip them for their start to school. But that's not all! We also offer plenty of activities to enhance fine motor skills, and support social and emotional development. Whether it's solving playground dilemmas or mastering classroom tasks, we've got it covered. Our program is designed to meet each child's unique needs, boosting their confidence and knowledge along the way!

Our Motor Magic classes are based on the Moving Smart Perceptual Motor Program (MSPMP) designed for early childhood. This comprehensive program is appropriate for all children and addresses every facet of early physical development. PMP builds the physical skills essential for classroom learning, enhancing abilities such as concentration, self-organisation, handwriting, memory, eye development, and language. These skills are integral to the current school curriculum and form the foundation for academic success in subjects like reading, mathematics, and language.

Small groups are a real winner for learning, and here's why they work so well. Not only do children feel less overwhelmed with the support of others around them, it is the perfect opportunity for them to deepen their understanding, boost their confidence, and gain valuable life skills like cooperating and turn-taking. Plus, small groups help students to enhance their language skills, and build wonderful friendships. As teachers, we can keep a close eye on your child, making sure they're sailing smoothly through their learning adventures. If they need a little extra support or a high-five for nailing a task, we're right there, ready to cheer them on!

When you sign up, you will receive an email with detailed information about your child's session, including what to bring. This will cover clothing, footwear, food, and other essentials.
