Wrigglers
This class is for ages from 20 months to 3 years, and is semi-structured, with an introduction of a warm up using songs, rhymes and movement-related activities. We then introduce small hand apparatus activities, allowing children to get to grips with a range of items, and allowing time to build and enhance social relationships for both parent and child. Music plays a role in the program to encourage the child with rhythm and co-ordination, and the session ends with a whole class activity.
