WATER BABY CLASSES

For children 6mths - 3yrs.  Classes are available Monday - Friday mornings from 9am through to 11.30am and Saturday from 8am through to 1.30pm.

There are 3 age groups:

6mths - 1year

Our aim is to create a happy and safe environment in which your child can acquire water safety skills while being stimulated to develop physically, socially and intellectually.  Water play offers increased confidence, sensory stimulation, improved co-ordination, and carer and child bonding.

We try to create an environment where our staff training, knowledge, skills and experience teach you - the carer - how to confidently teach your child.

Having fun is essential, remember that children learn through play.

Children love to find things out for themselves by experimentation - so let them, with supervision! - and watch their confidence grow.

Do - be positive

D0 - let the child progress at their own rate
