Mini Rockers

High energy programs, focusing on movement, creativity and fun!

Clap your hands, stamp your feet,

Hop and skip and do a spin …

Mini Rockers let’s begin!

Vibrant, highly interactive dance programs created for babies, toddlers and preschoolers, focused on teaching little rockstars to use their bodies to move, use their minds to imagine, and work together to explore their world!

Mini Rockers has a strong emphasis on dance and movement, but it also incorporates several extra layers of learning.

Mini Rockers isn’t about learning TO dance, but about learning THROUGH dance, teaching children about themselves, their bodies, their voices, and their worlds.

Classes incorporate predictable structure, but each and every week is a new class with different props, songs and sensory activities.

Areas of development

Children are engaged in an ever-rotating syllabus of themed activities designed to aid development in six key areas

Physical

  • Children learn movement concepts that provide early foundations for dance, sport and gymnastics.
  • Children become competent in creating meaningful body movement and development is aided in the areas of rhythm, balance, coordination and spacial awareness.
  • Children are exposed to different sensory experiences.
  • Little bodies are kept active, thereby improving muscle tone and fitness.

Social

  • Children develop confidence in an environment outside of the home and childcare.
  • Children are given the opportunity to interact with new peers each week.
  • Emerging skills in areas such as communication, cooperation, turn-taking, and patience are reinforced.

Music and Instruments

  • All activities are done to music, thereby exposing children to a large variety of songs.
  • Children are taught to recognise musical cues
  • Children learn to use different instruments such as drums, chimes and shakers to keep a rhythm, create a beat, and follow melodies.

Imagination

Children are engaged in vibrant games involving dramatic play, fostering divergent thinking and inspiring them to use their imaginations.

Cognitive Skills

  • Children are encouraged to follow instructions and class routines.
  • Children are encouraged to ask and answer questions and make decisions, assisting in the development of skills in simple reasoning.
  • Children learn to recognise cause and effect.

Learning about our world

Children are encouraged to be investigators, discovering information about themselves, their bodies, their feelings, their world and its occupants. Children are empowered to seek further exploration of topics that interest them.
