Music time

All children come together on the mat to discover the joys of music, song, movement and dance. They are exposed to different musical instruments, live and recorded music, classic children’s nursery rhymes and songs.

 

Add to this some lively dance steps taught by our teachers and our children have a wonderful foundation in music and rhythm.

Story time

All our children come together and sit as a group on the mat to develop their pre-literacy and numeracy skills.

 

The children listen to stories and learn rhymes and songs such as the “ABC” song and “Five Brown Buns”. These activities also teach them listening skills and how to cooperate as part of a group.

Home time

Caregivers are asked to wait outside until a teacher opens the door at 2:45pm. This reduces disruptions and allows the children to concentrate on the story.
