The “Playing Together” playgroup is a programme for toddlers from 16 months old, which they attend with their parents or another adult. It’s not just a game, but preparation for school in a comfortable environment where children learn to communicate and make friends, and parents receive valuable advice from experienced teachers.
WHAT WE DO
In our playgroup, children get to know each other and learn to make friends. They are led by an experienced teacher from the junior department of our school. Each class lasts one hour and includes:
- Fun songs with movements
- Exercises for developing articulation and auditory attention
- Themed play activities: sculpting, drawing, or crafts
- Storytelling
- Playing in a tunnel and a ball pit
- Bubbles and lots of laughter!
OBJECTIVES
The main aim is to help a child adapt to group activities. In the presence of an adult, the toddler gets used to the structure of a lesson and forms the first skills of communicating with peers. This creates a solid foundation for the further transition to classes without parents, both in our school and in a mainstream English school.
Who This Playgroup Is For
For children from 16 months old. We form groups of children of a similar age, with a difference of no more than six months. At three years old, children usually move to the junior class of our school.
For adults who accompany the toddler. You will be able to observe your child’s development in comparison with other children, learn useful games and exercises that can be repeated at home, and get answers to questions from our experienced teacher.
We are incredibly happy to observe the successes of our little students. It is true happiness to see their first sound imitations gradually turn into meaningful words, and then into whole phrases.
