Our Teaching Style: We’re a fun, hands-on organisation - with a range of teachers, that can't wait to see your little ones in class. Each session is led by an experienced educator from our team who will bring their own warmth and energy to the group while sticking to our shared structure. We keep things upbeat, sensory-friendly, and flexible—adapting to the group’s needs and pace with smiles and encouragement. Learner Interaction: Each class is guided in real-time with clear instructions, songs, and demonstrations. While toddlers may not speak directly, they’ll interact physically through movement and with the help of their caregiver. Caregivers are encouraged to participate fully—dancing, playing, and exploring side-by-side with their child.
Learning Goals
Learners will develop gross motor skills through guided movement and action songs (e.g., stomping, clapping, stretching).
Learners will improve sensory awareness by exploring different textures, sounds, and movement-based stimuli.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
This class is designed for toddlers aged 1–2 and requires caregiver participation at all times for safety, support, and engagement. Activities may involve movement, dancing, or playing with simple household items, so caregivers must supervise and assist their child throughout the session.
Supply List
All materials are optional and can be substituted with what you have at home: 1 lightweight scarf, fabric square, or tea towel (for dancing/movement) 1–2 sensory items such as: A soft sponge, textured ball, or washcloth A small container of dry rice, pasta, or pom-poms (in a sealed container for shaking or touching) A soft space to move (rug, mat, or blanket area) A favourite stuffed toy or puppet (optional, for hello/goodbye songs) You do not need to purchase anything for this class—we encourage families to use safe items already in the home.

All items will be simple and commonly found at home, such as scarves, soft toys, or sensory objects.
