Mondays:
The Musical Garden is a Geelong based program created by Liz Kearney, and it has run in the early childhood sector for 10 years. Liz is a proud mum of 4 children, a Singing Teacher, Diploma Qualified Educator and Performer – check out the Preschool music album ‘Big Fun’ by The Musical Garden on iTunes and Spotify! The Musical Garden program includes music, instruments, movement, fun games and activities to teach foundation music theory, key sign and more. The program is hands-on and especially tailored to young children and their developing needs.
Tuesdays:
Cooking class with Marc – The children loved their cooking classes last year and the classes will continue this year. Marc will also be holding lessons on healthy eating and where food comes from to encourage the children to eat a wide variety of foods.

Thursdays:
Language class with Laura – Laura will be implementing Spanish class with all the children. Much like our Italian class last year, Laura will plan and implement language experiences for all children. Research shows that learning a second language boosts problem-solving, critical-thinking and listening skills, in addition to improving memory, concentration and the ability to multitask. Children proficient in other languages also show signs of enhanced creativity and mental flexibility.
Fridays:
Yoga with Priti – Priti Rathod is a diploma qualified educator and certified yoga instructor who has worked with children for over 17 years. Priti teaches Yoga and mindfulness, and celebrates different cultures through her program with the children. Yoga at an early age encourages self-esteem and body awareness, with a physical activity that is non-competitive. Fostering cooperation and compassion is a great gift to give our children.
In addition, we will have fun incursions throughout the year such as Animal Farms, Reptiles, African Drumming and Puppet shows, as well as taking your child on many adventures outdoors such as Bush Kinder, Beach Kinder, Narana and the Queenscliff Discovery Centre.
