Workshops
We provide a loving fun-filled environment where parent/carer and child share dedicated time participating in age-appropiate activities. These activities are specially designed to enhance the physical, emotional, cognitive, creative and social growth of the child, while concurrently developing their self-esteem and confidence in a nurturing manner.
Kids Can H.Q. focuses on the needs and abilities of the child. The programs take into account what is developmentally appropriate for each child and allows them to proceed at their own pace. They are encouraged to play independently, alongside or cooperatively with other children according to their ability and stage of development.
We run the following programmes:
|
12-18 months (1 hour session) |
18 months- 3 1/2 year olds (1 1/2 hours) |
| The children begin in our gross motor area where that get to develop there gross motor skills enhancing their balance, spatial orientation and physical strength while learning to socialize in a group with other children of similar ages. They are in there for the first 25 min, at this point the session progresses to "ring-time" with an instructor. The children participate using a range of techniques such as songs, musical instruments, puppets & physical activities all building on their fine-motor co-ordination, language and social skills. They then move on to snack and story time. |
These sessions are progressive. The children begin in the “free play toy room area”, where they choose from a range of stimulating and educational toys. The session progresses to “ring-time” with an instructor. The children participate once again using a range of techniques such as songs, musical instruments, puppets, all building on their fine-motor coordination, language and social skills. During the physical activity they learn to follow instructions and different spatial positions. Thereafter, the children play in the extensive gross-motor activity zone on equipment enhancing their balance, spatial orientation and physical strength. Parents/carers socialize over tea or coffee, sharing in the pleasures and anxieties of child rearing, oftentimes making new friends. They then move on to snack and story time, after which they move into our art area to make an art activity relating to the theme which they can take home with them (this is there pride and joy.) Ending off with our "Good-bye" song. |
Kids Can H.Q. is inclusive of all children and we have specialist consultants who ensure that our programs provide an environment and structure of optimum benefit to children with special needs.
Kids Can H.Q. is a fantasy land where through loving and gentle teaching, they strengthen their belief in themselves, actively socialize, participate in team experiences, explore their body strengths and abilities, share dedicated one on one time with their parent/carer, and leave exhilarated asking each morning for the next session!
