Parents in Aberdeen LOVE…
Tiring their little ones (18 months to five years) out at our pre-school classes.
They’re friendly and welcoming yet structured.
And all about joining in with dancing, singing, acting, gymnastics and sports.
Note: From three-years-old, your child can come independently while you grab some much needed me-time!
Here are a few of the great things parents like you said…
• They learned how to follow a beat and rhythm – perfect if you’re not musical yourself.
• They picked up new songs and dances – after dinner entertainment sorted!
• Lots of different instruments meant they could experiment with different sounds.
• Fine-motor skills – hand-to-eye co-ordination and pincer grip were fine-tuned here.
• Likewise with gross motor skills – they burned energy learning to jump, hop, walk and march.
• Social skills got a massive boost from all the sharing, waiting their turn, being part of a group and just plain, old having fun with their peers!
• Their confidence skyrocketed (in a good way) thanks to the variety of activities.
• They learned about counting, shapes, sizes, words and sounds.
