Classes
At Shaping Little Minds, we’re all about igniting young imaginations while ensuring that every moment is a stepping stone for growth and development.
Age-Appropriate Fun
Our sessions are designed for children aged 6 months to 4 years, ensuring that each activity caters to their unique needs and stages of development
Play-Based Enrichment
We're not your typical playgroup. Our mission is to nurture creativity, curiosity, and confidence through play-based learning. Children have the freedom to choose where and what they want to explore, becoming the architects of their own learning journey.
Serious About Development
Behind the laughter and smiles, we take child development seriously. Each session is thoughtfully planned, following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. It's education in disguise, with your child as the star.
Storytelling Magic
Every session begins with an enchanting interactive story, setting the stage for the adventure that awaits. As their minds tune in, your little ones are primed for a world of exploration and wonder.
A Universe of Stations
Our sessions feature a world of stations to cater to diverse interests and ages. From our energetic Gross Motor Circuit to the treasures of the Sensory Bin, Messy Play, Homemade Playdough, Arts and Crafts, and mind-engaging Cognitive Activities – the possibilities are endless.
Bubble Time and Beyond
We wrap up each session with laughter during Bubble Time, where we sing, dance, and explore instruments. It's the perfect end to a morning of discovery. Then, it's time to relax and reflect, all while having a blast!
