Parent Classes for Children
5 Months to 2 Years of Age
The support of the parent or carer plays a crucial role at Kidstart as it provides a safe and supportive environment for the child to explore and develop. The program is very different to a playgroup where there is generally a lot less structure. Our program relies on you helping your child with the different activities so as to give your child encouragement and support. This is also important from a safety perspective. Parents are guided through the activities and advised the reasons behind them and given further ideas for use at home. Children enjoy spending time playing with you and showing you what they can do.
Class Structure
Our classes follow the same essential structure as listed below. The variations that are then experienced in each class reflect the specific educational needs relevant to the age and stage of development of the children:
