"Playing and learning are not two separate activities - they happen at the same time." This is KiDO's enlightened take on childhood development. Here is a place you can leave your child (three months to six years) while you go shopping or off to a day spa, and know they are in good hands. Not so much a playground or daycare (although it is both), as a fun school where little ones can blossom according to their own rhythms alongside others on their wavelength - under the guidance of highly trained staff. A snazzy feature also allows you to watch your little one at play over the Internet.
There are five programs on rotation. 'Gym & Play' is where kids are introduced to concepts of the rhythms, shapes and body parts and begin to develop instructional listening. They can do all the moves they enjoy so much, climbing, crawling, bouncing - all good for physical development and learning social skills from an early start.
Dancing Babies
'Music & More' is the class that encourages your child to sing and dance. Playing rhythm instruments and exploring the make-believe world through music and movement. In the process they learn concepts such as colours, letters and numbers as part of the fun. 'Arts & Crafts' lets kids express their bundle of energies in a safe and supportive environment. Being themselves, children are not creative by what they produce, but what they attempt and discover with colouring, clay-cutting, print-marking, sculpturing and craft-building in relation to songs, poems, and/or stories.
Chefs in the Making
'Arts & Cooking' is a fun class where kids can get creative and paint, draw, colour or sculpt with food. Each recipe and project encourages exploration, discovery, creativity and following instructions. They can draw on cakes, sculpt with cookie dough, paint with frosting, and print-mark with fruit. 'Science & Numbers' is an opportunity for the child to explore, ask questions, discover cause an effects and solve problems. The experience helps cultivate children's natural sense of wonder and curiosity. 'Number Fun' makes maths meaningful to young ones. Filled with play and exploration, the kid understands math's foundation concepts before moving to more advanced levels.
Programmes are developmentally appropriate and child-oriented following a well acclaimed US curriculum. Packages vary from full-time, half-day, drop-in and after-school. Many holiday-makers just drop their little ones off for a half day and the kids have so much fun, they demand to go back.
