Overview of Developmental Stages

Detailed Program Descriptions

Infants (6-12 months)

At this stage, programs focus on sensory stimulation and gentle motor activities that encourage babies to explore their environment safely. Activities include soft tactile toys, gentle stretching, and parent-infant interactive sessions that strengthen emotional bonds.

Toddlers (1-3 years)

Programs for toddlers emphasize developing basic motor skills such as walking, running, and jumping, alongside early social skills. Interactive games and simple coordination exercises help toddlers gain confidence and begin to understand social cues.

Programs become more challenging, focusing on cognitive development and teamwork. Children engage in problem-solving tasks, introductory team sports, and activities that promote leadership and cooperation.
