Extra activities

DANCE CLASSES:

Our dance classes support children’s motor development through the learning of various movements and dance techniques. These exercises engage different muscle groups, enhancing coordination and strengthening muscles. As children learn dance steps and sequences, they also develop cognitive skills such as memory, concentration, and hand-eye coordination. Dance allows children to express themselves, fostering creativity and imagination. They learn to interpret music through movement, which stimulates their creative thinking. During dance classes, children collaborate with others, enhancing social skills such as communication, cooperation, and empathy. Performing choreographies and improvising together builds bonds among participants.

Classes include:

• Ballroom and disco dance
• Group routines based on popular music hits
• Rhythmic and movement games
• Dance floor etiquette
• Solo, pair, and group dances

CERAMIC Workshops:

Ceramics classes in our preschool support children’s motor, creative, concentration, emotional, social, and cognitive development. Working with clay requires precision and the ability to manipulate small objects, developing fine motor skills and coordination. Ceramics provide children with a means of self-expression through creating unique art pieces. Experimenting with forms, textures, and colors stimulates their creativity and imagination. Working with clay demands patience and focus, teaching children to concentrate and strive to achieve their intended results. Seeing the outcome of their work brings children a sense of pride and satisfaction.

ROBOTICS:

Robotics classes, enriched with elements of the English language, introduce children to the world of computing and mechanics through play. Participants develop manual skills and spatial imagination by constructing and programming robots using tablets. Working with robots involves problem-solving and critical thinking. Children analyze situations, draw conclusions, and make decisions to achieve their goals, fostering innovation and creativity. Participation in these classes brings children a sense of accomplishment, motivating them to further learn and experiment. The technical skills acquired in these classes are valuable and prepare children for future professional and life challenges.

ANIMAL-ASSISTED THERAPY (DOG THERAPY):

Dog therapy in preschool supports children’s emotional, social, and physical development by increasing engagement, reducing stress, developing social and emotional skills, improving communication, and boosting self-esteem. Interaction with well-trained dogs is relaxing and calming, helping to reduce stress and anxiety. Dog therapy promotes empathy, responsibility, and cooperation. Children learn to be gentle and respectful towards animals. Interaction with a dog improves concentration and motivation to learn, and dogs as companions provide emotional support, helping children feel accepted and safe.

SENSORY ART:

Sensory art is a form of artistic activity focused on sensory experience through manipulating various sensory materials such as sand, clay, water, paints, fruits, vegetables, and food products. The goal of sensory art is to stimulate the senses, develop creativity, and provide children with opportunities for discovery and experimentation. Sensory art engages different senses, supporting development through the exploration of textures, consistencies, and shapes. It is a form of play and relaxation that helps children relieve stress and tension while stimulating creativity and imagination by encouraging them to experiment with various materials.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES – Kangaroo
