Pre-School

  • Program for Pre-School children 2 – 7 years of age
    This program is a fun-filled perceptual-motor developmental programme that is specifically taught to meet the various aspects of gross motor development such as balance, body awareness, spatial orientation, coordination, rhythm and timing.

    This program is also designed towards the neuro-motoric development of the child, and aims to prevent educational implications from a motor point of view.

    Kinderkineticists will carefully plan and design unique lessons according to the different age groups as well as the developmental phases of the children. Children are assessed by Kinderkineticists using the latest version of national and international recognized test batteries such as the Movement ABC to determine if a child’s motor development is on par.

    Should the child be delayed in his/her development, the correct intervention can be followed in order to ensure optimal motor development, thus helping a child to reach his/her full potential.

A Pre-school Program is designed to support the early development of children, typically between the ages of 2 and 5, preparing them for formal schooling. These programs focus on holistic development—cognitive, physical, emotional, and social—through structured activities, play-based learning, and early academics.
