Music, movement, and dramatic play enhance a child’s capacity for expression. Through interactive songs, games, movement activities, and stories, children are exposed to musical concepts such as pitch, rhythm, dynamics, and tempo. Children are encouraged to express their feelings and emotions, learn to work in groups, and develop their self-confidence and imagination.
Benefits of Group Classes
Communication and Cooperation
Communication promotes socialisation, enhances peer interactions, and fosters a sense of belonging. Facilitating interactions with other students can significantly benefit their social and emotional development.
Joint Attention
Joint attention skill is a key skill that helps children develop social and communication skillsÂ
Emotional Regulation
Participating in activities that provide a sense of achievement and growth can promote emotional regulation for children with special needs.
Waiting and Turn Taking
Our group classes help to facilitate waiting skills, turn-taking skills, and many more. Formal schools often assess the child’s group skills to decide on his or her enrolment, class, and level designation.
