Mini Muscless is a fun movement  hour for parents to attend with their infant, toddler or preschooler. Sessions are based on free choice for children and we offer ideas to parents that will help them support their childs physical development. We offer music and movement as part of the class and children are welcome to join in if they wish. Physical movement plays an important role in early childhood education and is necessary for your infant's brain development. You will learn how your new baby's movement, supports this growth. We introduce you to ideas from specialists and theorists and help you to answer all those questions that you have, about your childs physical development as they grow. We have mums, dads, nannies and grandparents who come and enjoy our sessions, everyone is welcome. A FRIENDLY REMINDER- MINI MUSCLES IS FOR THE WELL CHILD  Please keep your child away if they have a runny nose and remember your child needs to be free of runny poo or vomiting for 2 days before it is safe for them to be around other children. Viruses and germs spread quickly in warm rooms. GUIDELINES FOR PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS Parents and Caregivers Please help keep Mini Muscles  a fun place for children to come.  You are responsible for your child within this environment and you need to have them in your sight at all times. If you are involved in a conversation with another adult, position yourself so that you can see your child and that you can step into help if needed. Children cannot see through groups of parents standing talking in the middle of the room, grouping like this can block their view of equipment and activities. If your child is participating during group music time, please support them to do so by keeping this time a chat free zone for adults in order for the children to gain the most from the activities they enjoy. One hour of your week is a short time to devote  your attention to your child's amazing developing skills. Mini Muscles is for the enjoyment of you and your child together Thanks for your consideration  If you or anyone you know has an interest in leading a class please contact me. Y fou will need to be physically fit, have experience or training in early childhood and working with families, knowledge of physical development, music and movement, health and wellbeing. You must be unflappable, strong and have a great smile and be completely unfazed by large noisy groups of adults and children! Most of all you need to be able to have fun when interacting with children and be able to offer parents supportive, sound advice on their child's development:)    Facebook Page If you want to keep up with weekly notices or photos from sessions please find our facebook page and click like.
