The knowledge kids soak up during their early years
remains in their memory banks forever. But it’s important to realise that kids
will learn the most when teaching is structured in an age appropriate way.
At Ready Steady Go Kids we’re real sticklers for
age appropriate learning. In fact, our program has been specifically designed
to suit three age levels, ensuring that what’s taught is not only thoroughly
enjoyed but also grasped by each and every child. So what can you expect your
child to be learning at each stage in our classes? Here, we tell you…
The ‘Ready’ level of Ready Steady Go Kids is
tailored to suit two-and-a-half to three year olds. It’s aimed at developing
the physical skills of movement, balance and posture. And it’s great because it
focuses on spatial awareness while also encouraging listening, cooperation and
socialisation skills.
Between the ages of two-and-a-half to three, your
child’s curiosity rivals that of any cat in the universe. Kids this age want to
tear around and explore; their bodies and minds crave the new. Some children
are more than ready to actively participate in every part of the ‘Ready’
program, while others prefer to share their time between watching some parts of
the program and participating in others. This is perfectly normal behavior for
this age group as observing is a huge part of the learning process.
The concepts taught during the ‘Ready’ level are
basic and broken into short time blocks to maintain the children’s attention.
Whether you’ve got a real social butterfly or a child who tips the shyness end
of the scale, Ready Steady Go Kids is a great introduction to organised
activity.
The ‘Steady’ level of the Ready Steady Go Kids
program is specifically tailored towards three to four year olds who show
greater comprehension skills and are better at getting along with other kids,
without the aid of their parents. This program is all about encouraging a
higher level of independence, developing gross and fine motor skills and
rapidly upping their coordination.
Children aged four to six are the big kids at Ready
Steady Go Kids and form the ‘Go’ group. At this stage of life kids are learning
less through observation and more by getting in amongst it. They’re much better
at sharing and their social skills have soared too.
Classes for children in the ‘Go’ group are faster
paced and challenging – which is just what kids of this age need. We work on
refining skills and there are real opportunities to master the components of
each sport. Your child’s persistence and decision-making skills are brought to
the fore, while teamwork and sportsmanship are a real focus. Parents just love
seeing their kids develop into confident little team players during these
classes.
In all three groups, Ready Steady Go Kids teaches
children the thrill of being involved in sport while preparing them for their
school years, which lie just over the horizon.
We’re proud of the program we’ve developed and
we’re sure your kids will benefit from participating in our classes in more
ways than you ever could have imagined. If you haven’t already tried our program, please
remember that we do offer free trial classes and we’d love for your child to
come along and experience the fun and excitement of Ready Steady Go Kids –
