Little Learners offers multi award-winning educational messy play and mark making classes for babies to preschoolers. It was created and founded by a qualified primary teacher who designed an innovative mark making programme following the journey of four fun characters – ‘The Mark Makers’. Children focus on one character each week in our classes.

Messy play, painting, play dough, scribbling, dance, and more are used to encourage children to mark make and learn early writing skills through play.

 

At Little Learners your child will be encouraged to use hands, fingers, feet, and toes to make marks which will help to strengthen their core muscles and develop their gross and fine motor skills. These skills are vital for holding and controlling a pencil and letter and number formation when they reach school age.

 

Our aim is to make writing fun and encourage every child to MAKE THEIR MARK!

 

We offer weekly classes during term time, special monthly classes for Dad’s, special events and we also offer parties tailored to your requirements – they can be as messy as you want them to be, and to the theme of your choice!

 

Term classes held on Tuesdays at The Little Hub, Flanshaw – 10:00am – 10:45am

 

Daddy Learn With Me! Classes held at The Little Hub, Flanshaw on the first Saturday of each month. A class for Dad’s to have fun with their little ones, build confidence and meet other Dad’s.

 

Also look out for our events which are posted on our facebook page.

 

Please contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your little learners at a class soon!

Puddle Ducks … The Perfect IntroDUCKtion to Swimming

 

Puddle Ducks Wakefield runs classes in pools across Wakefield, Barnsley, Sheffield, Bradford & South Leeds, and we have just celebrated our 15th year in business!

Our Baby & Pre-School programme (0-4 years) provides a wonderful bonding experience and our progressive lesson plans instil a water confidence and love of swimming. Our highly trained and qualified teachers are experts at identifying children’s levels of ability and adapting activities to the individual, nurturing confidence and encouraging natural ability, all whilst having lots of fun.

 

Our Baby & Pre-school programme is offered through six levels:

Floaties (0-9 months),
Splashers (6-15 months),
Kickers (15 months to 2.5 years),
Little Dippers (2-5 years) and
Dippers and Dabblers (2-5 years ability related classes)

 

For older children, whether they have come from a pre-school class or never been in the water before, Swim Academy (4-10 years) will take your child from ‘getting their faces wet’ to being an independent swimmer and who knows, maybe a future Olympic champion.

 

Teaching independent swimming from birth. That’s the Puddle Ducks difference.

 

Classes run on every day of the week in local pools, find your nearest pool here

Water confidence builds life confidence.

Our leading swim programme has been developed to build water confidence and skills throughout your little one’s first five years. We work closely with Swim England, the national governing body for swimming, and we’ve woven their learn to swim framework through our programme. You’ll love nothing more than seeing their progression as your little one moves from fun floating, kicking and splashing to swimming independently.

And not only will your little one develop key aquatic skills, but we’ll also give them the knowledge to keep themselves safe. By the end of their journey, your child will be able to independently swim to the side and climb out to safety, wherever they are.

You can be safe in the knowledge that you’re learning from the best. Our teachers are the only ones who can hold Swim England’s Level 3 qualification, the highest that can be achieved. And they’re the most passionate around, there to guide you at every stroke of your little one’s journey. Because the more confident they are in the water, the more confident they’ll be out of it too.

So what are you waiting for? When they’re ready, we’re ready.

If you have any questions, want to know more or to get your little one signed up, just get in touch.
