A variety of fun activities to help your baby on their way to reaching their next developmental milestone.

Class is suitable for confident walkers or 16 months - whichever comes first!

Where they are:

Talk about being on the move! At this age, little ones’ abilities are exploding: they are communicating, running, showing interest in friends, and can’t stop exploring! This is a high-energy class for little ones on the move and guaranteed to burn up energy as they learn.

What to expect in class:

It’s all about opposites: loud and quiet, fast and slow, up and down! Contrasting ‘themes’ help your child learn better ways to communicate. We move across the bridge slowly and then fast! They'll learn how to control body movements and use their body to navigate and problem solve across monkey bars, giant cushions, and through little tunnels. We’ll also practice repetition and routine with regular parachute and bubble activities. Soon your little one will be leading the Gymbo Dance!

Benefits:

Physical: Exploration of the different equipment supports problem solving, navigating skills, and confidence.

Cognitive: Repetition, songs, and interacting with their familiar adult supports language development, vocabulary, and memory.

Social: Our classroom environment supports social and emotional development.

Adults: Need your little one to take a good nap? This class is high energy and full of fun. In fact, you might want to take a nap too!

Where they are:

Your little one is communicating, sharing opinions and showing interest in their first friends and can’t stop exploring!! They can do new things like jumping and dancing!

What to expect in class:

Our play floor comes to life involving lots of symbolic thinking with trips to the grocery store, eating pizza, finding animals, and even bugs! We’ll use creativity and imagination in all activities. Throw a pretend party, imagine a wild trip to outer space, or pretend to be an ant in a bug’s world…we’ll transform our playscape into a whole new world!  

Benefits:

Physical: Exploration of the different equipment supports problem solving, navigating skills, and confidence. Jumping, climbing, crawling, and dancing all support improved balance and coordination skills along with building strong muscles and bones.

Cognitive: Repetition, songs, and interacting with their familiar adult supports language development, vocabulary, and memory. This class also supports pretending and imagining, which benefits problem solving skills, communication, and creativity.

Social: The classroom environment helps children prepare for school, learn how to be around other children and socialize.

Adults: School is just a few years away, and in this class, you get to witness your child’s mind come to life and be part of their learning journey. They are only this little for so long, let’s enjoy the moments and play! 

*Pay as you go available for this class*

Crawling, Walking, Running, or Exploring! Everyone is welcome and there’s a big focus on social interaction for your little one. This class is ideal for siblings and friends of different ages as your Teacher tailors the class to suit the developmental stage of each participant!

Class activities are carefully chosen to promote your child's physical, social, emotional and cognitive development, all wrapped up in a large sprinkle of fun!

What to expect in Music For All Class:

Engage your little one in a multi-age music class which provides opportunities not only to learn musical techniques, styles, and about different instruments, but also supports social and emotional development.

Benefits:

Physical: Sensory exploration time is supported while children practice their motor skills, which is crucial for your child’s overall development.

Cognitive: Music play helps activate parts of the brain responsible for music and speech processing. It creates an early appreciation of music and supports language development.

Social: Through music, you can hear and feel emotions. Tunes can be happy, sad, or angry! This supports social development in understanding emotions in a new way.

Adults: You get to engage with your little one making emotional connections and strong bonds. Being involved in your child’s play helps both you feel more connected.

*REGISTER HERE TO RECEIVE DETAILS AND PRIORITY BOOKING WHEN NEXT TERM DATES ARE RELEASED*

A one hour class that introduces your child to the world of a preschooler, with gentle separation and the first steps to school readiness. Credit Bundles may be used to book this class (4 credits required).

**CLASS TAKES PLACE ON FRIDAYS AT 11AM TO 12PM**

It is strongly recommended that your child should have attended at least four Play & Learn classes so they are familiar with our Play Gym and staff before attending Preschool Skills. This allows for a more successful separation time.

Where they are:

These children are in the prime of PLAY! They are imagining, creating, and becoming independent learners. They are taking on new challenges, separating from their familiar adult and building the social skills needed for their preschool journey and beyond.

What to expect in class:

Engaging themes like outer space, animals, and bugs continue to foster imagination and allow adults and children to play together, building confidence and trust. Parent/child play time is followed by a gentle separation time where children are engaged by expert teachers in social activities and brain games like puzzles, playdough, imaginary play and storytime. Class ends with celebration and the return of the adults, reminding children that adults always come back!  Water/juice and a snack is provided after all the mental and physical exertions!

BENEFITS:

Physical: Children get ample time on our equipment, building gross motor skills, coordination, and balance. During separation time we will focus on fine motor skills, pre-writing skills, and dexterity (like threading a bead on a string).

Cognitive: Problem-solving, reasoning, and play all support your child’s brain development during this class.

Social: Practice social skills necessary for school readiness in a safe and playful way! Collaboration, turn-taking, and sharing are all practiced during our class with and without our adult guides.

Adults: Get 20 minutes of uninterrupted time during separation time to check emails, drink your coffee, or just sit and relax in our Reception area. You have access to our Play Gym if you have a younger sibling with you.
