Core Activities
Music Lab (Drums, Keyboard, Rhythm)
Children explore rhythm and music through instruments such as drums, keyboards, and percussion instruments. Activities often include call-and-response rhythm games, musical imitation activities, and group music experiences that encourage listening and coordination. Music activities support imitation, joint attention, and social timing, while helping children participate in shared group experiences. Through rhythm and musical play, children practise turn-taking, responding to cues, and engaging with peers in a fun and motivating environment.
Targets: imitation, joint attention, social timing.
Performance Practice
Performance practice activities help children build confidence presenting ideas, storytelling, or performing in front of others. Children practise using microphones, sharing ideas with peers, and participating in supportive group performances. These experiences help children develop self-advocacy skills, confidence, and emotional regulation while learning how to communicate clearly in group settings. Peer feedback and encouragement help create a positive environment where children feel comfortable expressing themselves.
Targets: self-advocacy, confidence, emotional regulation.
Art & Craft Studio
The Art & Craft Studio allows children to explore creativity through painting, clay, crafts, and mixed-media projects. These activities encourage imagination, creativity, and sustained focus while allowing children to create something meaningful. Art experiences also support fine motor development and emotional expression, providing calming opportunities for self-regulation. Children practise planning projects, following steps, and sharing their creative ideas with peers.
Targets: fine motor skills, sustained attention, emotional regulation.
