This is a programme developed for the toddler in the one to three year age group. It is designed to stimulate the love of learning, increase self-confidence and a feeling of self-worth in the toddler. It also aims to enrich the mother/toddler relationship which is often jeopardised by the frenzied rush of modern lifestyle. Busy schedules often intervene and the importance of play can be lost.
The Tiny Tots programme caters especially for the little ones in the 12 to 18 month age group, allowing for their shorter attention span. There are more hands-on activities and “action play”, but these are of shorter duration.






Some of the ways you and your child will benefit by attending the workshop are:
Enhance the mother-child relationship by providing the opportunity to spend quality time together
Direct the toddlers’ energy without being separated from their mothers
Give necessary environmental stimulation in a carefully prepared background
Provide the foundation for a sense of order in the way the toddler works to increase their feeling of security
Help the child to think logically and to have self-control
Develop concentration with encouragement
Develop the toddlers’ skills of co-ordination in both visual and motor skills
Enhance the toddlers’ perceptive skills by introducing them to different shapes, sizes, colours, numbers
Expose the toddlers to a social atmosphere and enable them to relate to a group experience
Expose the toddler to someone new in authority, paving the way for the nursery school experience.
All the activities are designed to encourage the children to make choices on their own. The children are not told what to do but are provided with all the necessary feelings of security, and encouraged to explore and grow at their own pace.
Morning workshops are available and are two hours long
The first half hour is taken up by the toddlers playing with a variety of educational toys.
The next 15 minutes is dedicated to Messy Play activities and gross motor activities
Then comes 45 minutes of ring time including singing action songs, playing with musical instruments, learning about the different parts of the body, learning about a different colour or number.
Thereafter, it is story time followed by an activity based on the story.
In the final session the children are taken outside, where they can climb, play on the swings and in the sandpit, ride push bicycles and play with outdoor toys.
Children receive nutritious snacks and this is the time for the mothers to socialise over a cup of tea or coffee and to share in the pleasures and anxieties of child-rearing!
