Preschool
Passion Project

preschool learning

Preschool aged children have many passions and interests that can be intense and span long periods. These passionate interests contain many opportunities for learning, that we as parents and educators can use.

Allow us to show you how to explore the ways to engage children’s interests and open the door to them learning with their parents.

Using Mathematical Magic, Sensory Science Sensations, Artistic Avenues and Musical Masterpieces we can do a one off or four weekly project session. 

Book your workshop or project here, we can’t wait to meet you and your families!

This workshop helped me recognise the importance of play in learning maths, find ways to talk about maths in play and our everyday routine, and places to find maths play ideas and songs on the internet! We learned and made things to take home and play with my child. I'm very confident I can help my children with maths!

I saw what may baby does and does not like to engage with during the session. The best thing about the importance of baby play session was learning new ways to play and interact with my baby.

I noticed my child was excited for something new and the best thing about the Preschool Passion Project was connecting with my child.

I loved all the tips. One new thing I learnt was how certain poses can help to regulate us. One of the best things was both learning and doing the poses.
