Our Approach
Cooking
Cooking is a beneficial activity for children allowing to develop social and life skills as they work together to create. Our cooking classes aim to develop:
- Language: Using communication skills to ask questions and read recipes.
- Fine Motor: Cracking eggs and whisking batter.
- Sensory: Developing taste, smells and touch.
- Math: Using measurement, time and calculation to create a dish.
- Focus: Concentration on recipe and instructions to ensure the dish is correct.
- Science: Filling measuring cups and exploring how different foods react when mixed together.
Dance
Children are given the opportunity to dance to age appropriate music, learn songs and traditional orchestral scores. This promotes a strong sense of imagination, while the children learn to work as a team, take turns and follow directions. They use hand-held props and materials to help learn spatial awareness and increase gross motor skills. Connection with dance encourages your child to build confidence to express emotion in front of others through movement.
