They take part in structured and enjoyable group activities such as massage, exercise, dance, rhyme and music – to create a fun and educational environment in which children thrive, developing: – Visual and language skills – aiding reading; – A greater sense of rhythm and continuity – important for learning mathematics; – Stronger hands, fingers and back – helping with writing.
