Playgym is an active time for pre-schoolers – toddlers through to 5 year old boys and girls. The emphasis is on free play & exploration in an exciting fully equipped gymnastics environment.
- βChildren are free to climb, jump, roll, balance, hang and slide over, down and around lots and lots of equipment set ups.
- Parental supervision of oneβs own child is essential for safety reasons! A qualified Kindergym Coach supervises each session.
- Set ups are changed regularly to challenge and maintain the interest of the children. This will motivate and capture their imaginations – they will want to explore and play!
Play is vital to young childrenβs development. Play is what young children do when they are not eating, sleeping or complying with the wishes of adults. It occupies most of their waking hours, and it may literally be viewed as the childβs equivalent to the work of adults.
Childrenβs play serves as the primary mode by which they learn about their bodies and its movement capabilities. It enhances cognitive skills (the ability to think and solve problems) in the young child, as well as an important means of developing fine motor and gross motor skills (essential for reading and writing skills in later life).
