Early Childhood “Chatty Seals” (3.5 to 5 years)

Our Early Childhood – ‘Chatty Seals” programme caters for 3.5 to 5 years. All of the fundamental confidence and swimming skills are taught through fun activities which stimulate the brain and body.

Our philosophy is based on the following concepts and principles:

Under 5’s learn through their senses – therefore a multi-sensory approach is essential
Movement fires up the thinking brain
Reinforcing concepts such as colour, shape, number and letters in new environments cements learning
Action and Language together develop Understanding
Engaging and empowering parents; they are the key to the child’s strengths and weaknesses, behaviour and learning preferences.
