This Halloween at our Wanchai Language & Learning Centre, we are hosting an additional few sessions of Little Dreamers that are spooooky – perfect way for parent and child alike to get into the Halloween spirit! We have designed them as messy play sessions to stimulate your child’s senses through a variety of Halloween-themed activities! These include:
- Playing with a tub full of Goo & Gore (baby-friendly slime).
- Painting their very own vampire!
- Doing the skeleton dance (to improve their motor skills & use of their arms and legs).
- Reading aloud some spooky stories (age-appropriate).
We anticipate a lot of sign ups! But don’t worry, we limit the groups to 15 little dreamers per session. This allows our children to explore each activity at their own pace while encouraging interaction with their new friends. At the end of each session, we have a dedicated space for you to clean up your toddler. So, let them play to their heart’s content and get messy!
What differentiates ESF Playgroup sessions from other providers?
ESF offers a range of sensory hands-on activities. Native English-speaking teachers teach each session. As such, the children develop core language skills needed to learn English. All our playgroups sessions are unique. So, we tailor our themes according to our children’s needs. The curriculum per session is unique all year round. Instead of repeating sessions, all sessions are unique. Hence, it provides different stimuli to engage the children.
Children will be learning rhymes & poetry. They will associate songs with routines & instructions. Plus, painting or playing with play dough will help develop their fine motor skills. They will begin to understand the world around them. Additionally, they will learn to express their emotions towards other children & their caretakers.
Your child’s age determines the playgroup level he/she joins. Truly, we have a clear progression system. Our qualified teachers have taught early years education for many years.
Young children do not only explore with their hands but with their mouths. Whether they are jumping in gloop or pouring goos, rest assured everything we use is safe for your curious little dreamer.
