✏️
Fine motor
Writing, painting, puzzles and craft build hand strength and control for drawing and, later, writing.
Programs & Activities
Learning through play, every day
Fun, age-appropriate activities that nurture the whole child and build a strong foundation for school.
Our approach
A broad range of fun, educational learning
Daily activities at Little Rockers vary with the age of each child, so I incorporate a wide range of experiences that introduce fine motor, gross motor, social and emotional, cognitive, language and self-help skills.
Writing, painting, climbing, running, dress-ups, singing, dancing, story time, puzzles, memory games, creative arts and crafts, and imaginative play are all part of a child's daily programme, preparing them for the "big" school journey ahead.
Everyday routines such as feeding, resting and nappy changing are viewed as significant parts of childcare education and are carried out in the most positive, caring way.
Skills we nurture
Every activity has a purpose
Play is how children learn. Here's what's growing behind the fun.
🤸
Gross motor
Climbing, running and dancing develop balance, coordination and healthy, active bodies.
💬
Language
Story time, singing and conversation grow vocabulary, listening and communication skills.
🧩
Cognitive
Memory games, puzzles and problem-solving spark curiosity and thinking skills.
🤗
Social & emotional
Small-group play and dress-ups build friendships, sharing, confidence and empathy.
🌟
Self-help
Everyday routines encourage independence, resilience and school readiness.
