Mixed Age Classes
Engaging Sensory Play for children 0 – 5 years
Explore the developmental benefits of children’s music, dance, and sensory play activities in a fun and enriching mixed-age environment. Our mixed-age sensory classes are the beginning of an incredible learning journey – and the whole family is invited!
Why Join a Mixed-Age Class?
All Making Rainbows classes are designed to meet children at their individual level. However, our mixed-age classes harness the many learning benefits of grouping children of different ages together. In the same way that children learn in a family environment, our mixed-age classes encourage older participants to develop their empathy and leadership skills, whilst younger children are inspired by watching and imitating them.
Incorporating elements of sensory play for toddlers, children’s music classes and a range of educational activities and games, our mixed-age classes allow your child to express their creativity and develop new skills at their own pace. It’s a fun and pressure-free environment where learning is joyful!
Especially great for siblings, our mixed-age classes are a wonderful opportunity for families to share the learning journey together. We encourage parents and guardians to get involved in the fun! You’ll celebrate learning successes and have the chance to connect with other parents on a similar journey.
What To Expect
Our 40-minute child-centred classes are designed to support children at all stages of their development. Your child will love our engaging musical activities and games where they’ll sing, dance, and play instruments. Through music and sensory activities, young learners can explore their senses and access new experiences that help them decode the world around them.
Our thoughtfully tailored classes encourage and assist in the development of a range of important skills including:
- fine motor skills (needed for writing)
- gross motor skills (needed for balance and coordination)
- imagination, creativity and problem-solving
- social skills and confidence
- positive cognitive development
- communication and language
In class, children will practise skills needed for school readiness, too. These include:
- taking turns and sharing
- listening
- following instructions
- emotional regulation and self-control
What We Offer
Making Rainbows provides curriculum-driven sensory and music classes for children between the ages of 0 and 5. Our nurturing programs are based on the pillars of early childhood development, and all classes are planned by qualified educators and endorsed by occupational therapists.
Our programs empower families to be a part of their children’s learning, all while giving children access to fun, positive sensory experiences. Your child will build confidence and test their skills as they work to meet their full potential. It’s a wonderful way to instil a love of learning in curious young minds, all before starting school!
