"If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings." - Brain Tracey


During the age of 3 and 5 your little one is making a big emotional shift. They take the leap from ME to WE. This is the start of independence and it can be a daunting task for all involved. 


At the Play 2 Know Toddler and Mom classes we help your child to embrace this new stage of becoming more independent. 


As the brain matures and children begin to develop a dominant side, children are encouraged to independently use each side of the body. Games, exercises, dance and equipment time increase in complexity as the two sides of the brain to start to work efficiently together.  We work on the  Physical, Emotional, Social and Cognitive skills needed for your child to develop as a whole. 


We offer a safe environment where learning is promoted in a fun way. Each month we will do a new theme to introduce your child to concepts in their everyday life, building up their vocabulary and language skills needed for Grade RR and Grade R. 


Cost: R800 per month


Class Duration: 60 min with a 30 min tea/coffee get together after classes
