Extra Curricular Activities

Yoga

Our Yoga sessions support the children’s physical, emotional, and social development. Our sessions, telling a story of the giggle tree, are a well-structured yoga curriculum that creates a calm, focused environment while promoting body awareness, self-regulation, and mindfulness in little learners.

Sports

Whether they’re naturally sporty or require a bit of practice, most children enjoy sports of one type or another at some point in their young lives. Some may take to a specific sport right away while others may identify a sport that they see potential in much later.

Two things are certain with sport though: firstly children can only discover a sport they enjoy if they try a few out for size and, secondly, sport of any kind is likely to benefit them in several ways.

Exercise is essential in young children for nurturing both a healthy mind and body. Creating habits and incorporating daily activity from an early age is invaluable in terms of social, motor, and sensory development. Introducing sports to your child at the early years stage offers an opportunity for children to develop their motor skills and physical fitness. Running, jumping, throwing, and catching, contribute to their coordination, balance, and agility.

Ellie's Atelier

Art provides children with crucial development opportunities by enhancing their creativity, cognitive skills of problem solving and critical thinking, and fine and gross motor development. Art can encourage a child's own emotional intelligence through self expression and exploration to build self confidence, or their skill of socio-emotional development through collaboration and teamwork. During weekly art sessions with Ellie, the children will explore key themes, both independently and in collaboration, to build on their early learning opportunities.

Swimming

It is paramount that children learn to swim as a an essential life-saving skill. Swimming also supports physical development and improves strength and flexibility, increases stamina and even improves balance and posture. Swimming provides challenges and rewards accomplishments, which helps children to become self-confident and believe in their abilities.
