Classes for Toddlers to Preschoolers – 1 year to 4 years.
ART ‘N’ MOVE is a stimulating, fun program that will build your child’s skills, confidence and independence.
Our activities encourage your toddler or preschooler to explore and experience new sensations and use their imagination, as they develop physical, social and intellectual skills.
PAINTING, DANCING, COLLAGE, MUSIC, STORIES … AND MORE
All activities and developmental skills are linked through a weekly theme and each 45-minute session includes:

Music and Movement
- Combining movement with music:

- Stimulates social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and language development
- Sharpens listening skills as children gain awareness of musical tempo and pitch
Art and Craft
- From painting, to printing to collage – we emphasise the creative process, not the end product.
- Each child’s artistic expression is unique – there is no right or wrong and children take pride in their accomplishments.
Children:
- Learn to plan, observe and explore as they make decisions to bring their unique creations to life
- Develop fine motor skills as they maneuver items used in creating their artwork, and hold utensils such as paintbrushes and rollers
Interactive Play

- How does it work? Figuring out how things tick, children:

- Parents too benefit from learning about the skills children develop with suitable developmental toys.
