Extra Activities

Hey Dee Ho Music

Hey Dee Ho Music is an entertainment based music program where musical concepts of beat, rhythm, tempo, pitch and dynamics are introduced.

The program includes music ranging from standard nursery rhymes to more contemporary songs and includes many basic components of child development. These include fine and gross motor skills, cognitive development, turn taking (important in the development of developing interactive social behaviour), spatial awareness, listening skills and more.

Children gain confidence in themselves and learn most when they are having FUN and that is the emphasis at Sweetland Road Early Learning Centre.

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 Sweetland Road Early Learning Centre 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 Sweetland Road Early Learning Centre. 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 

Kinderdance

Kinderdance is the original nationwide dance, motor development, gymnastics, and fitness program that combines academic readiness skills which are specifically designed for children ages 2 to 12.

What makes Kinderdance unique is that all of our programs incorporate educational concepts in a developmentally designed curriculum that teaches to the total child. We place special emphasis on building "Self Confidence" and "Self-Esteem" in young children. A Happy Child Is A Joy To Behold!

Anyone who has ever watched a child jump for joy when a parent comes home knows intuitively that small children express their feelings with movement as well as words. For preschool age children, movement, music and dance can be natural tools for learning as well as expressing. Influential child psychologists and educators like Piaget and Montessori agree that a planned developmental program in movement should be part of every child's education. And since early childhood education is the foundation for higher education, how a preschool child learns to learn will have a lasting influence throughout his or her school years.
