Engages the brain
Children learn new things, such as sounds, words and patterns through music. With movement, children can explore and control how their body moves. These activities are great for the development and skills as well as stimulating connections in the growing brain.
Cultivates communication skills
Bringing together children with songs, rhymes and actions allow them to discover how to interact and connect with others. Children develop listening and social skills that help to give them self-confidence which better prepares them for starting school.
Allows children to express themselves
Engaging in creative activities allows children to release their emotions and express their feelings. It’s a fantastic opportunity for children who aren’t yet able to put their thoughts into words.
