Children need to be active, both in mind and body. So, my Little Owls are encouraged to engage in a range of activities for each age and stage of development.
With access to a large garden and proximity to local parks, there are plenty of opportunities to play, explore and learn outdoors. At the Little Owls Gardening Club, we grow our own fruit and vegetables, which are cooked and baked for tea or taken home to enjoy with family.
Daily music and movement and weekly Yogabugs sessions keep Little Owls moving, while storytime and role-playing fires the imagination.
There’s always something new and exciting to keep your child entertained and engaged, encouraging natural interests and helping them to develop new skills, and to follow their curiosity.
