Letterland - Successfully teaching your child to read and write

Letterland is a unique, phonics based approach to teaching, reading, writing and spelling for 3-8 year olds. Letterland provides a link between letter sounds and letter shapes.

At Kids Club Torquay we believe it is essential that our preschool children are given a solid foundation in phonics before moving to primary school. Letterland helps to build this foundation in a unique play based way.

Your preschool child has free access to computers at Kids Club Torquay. This well established and successful system will help teach your child
• to listen and use spoken language
• explore and experiment with language
• sustain attentive listening and respond to what they have heard
• extend their vocabulary and explore the meaning of sounds and new words
• hear and say initial sounds and words
• link sounds to letters, name sounds and letters of the alphabet
• know that print carries meaning and is read from left to right 

Hey De Ho classes on a Friday

Hey De Ho is a program which enables children to develop their creative abilities, use their imagination, gain an understanding of rhythm, increase co –ordination and improve self confidence.

Using age appropriate music, movement songs, games and props, Hey De Ho sessions emphasis the fun of movement and Music.

Through movement children are able to tune their fine and gross motor skills and further develop such skills as concentration, listening to directions, working together in a group and waiting their turn, whilst they are simply having fun! 

Kinder Fitness.

Kinder fitness is a program specially designed for 2 to 6 year old children attending either Kindergarten or childcare.

The introduction of a structured program to preschool children may improve a child’s fitness in both health related and skill related areas. Developing fundamental motor skills and learning about physical fitness at an early age establishes an interest in a healthy, active lifestyle. Exercise and movement may also have a positive impact on growth and physical development.

In Australia today, 20-25% of children are overweight or obese (source: raising children network). These statistics are alarming and parents and childcare employees are collectively concerned about the future health of children in their care.

Through movement children are able to tune their fine and gross motor skills and further develop such skills as concentration, listening to directions, working together in a group and waiting their turn, whilst they are simply having fun!

The program is designed to make children aware of the importance of health and fitness in their everyday lives and to introduce the concept of exercise in a fun environment. Exercises have been developed in line with the levels of physical activities expected of pre-school aged children in preparation for the transition to primary school.
