TURTLE TIME (Ages: 12-24
months) TURTLE TIME is a class where our youngest students are introduced to BusyBodies' creative climbing equipment. Here they playfully learn to move over, under, through, around, and on apparatus in a safe manner. The main focus of this course is to increase body awareness, communication skills, and your child's understanding of his/her surroundings in terms of sharing space. The parent learns to become a facilitator of the child's movement and language discoveries. (45 minutes) |

TERRAPIN TOTS (Ages: 2-3
yrs) Our TERRAPIN TOTS class develops coordination, body awareness, and receptive language through the use of movement challenges and creative equipment setups- a fun way of furthering parent/child relationships while developing balance, locomotion, strength, and flexibility. Through the introduction of simple directions, rules, and routines, the child develops listening skills and a sense of organization. This eases the transition from primary caretaker to adult instructor. (45 minutes) |
