Little Bright Sparks

Stage 3 - Little Bright Sparks!

Give your child a head start

Literacy and numeracy classes for pre-school children

"Helping your child to be better equipped to start school"

During a Little Bright Sparks class we help to develop your toddler’s:

	Concentration and attention, making learning easier
	Independence and creativity
	Communication skills, helping your little one express himself
	Pre-literacy and numeracy skills, helping pave the way for reading and mathematics
	Pencil holding skills and correct directional letter and number formation skills using sensory methods (New for April term)
	Skills in sharing and taking turns, helping our little ones get along better!
	Self-esteem and confidence, vital for making new friends

All of this will make the transition into the classroom a little easier for your little one.

Between the ages of two and four, toddlers have a speech explosion, but even the chattiest toddler still has a lot to learn about communication. During a Little Bright Sparks class your child will take part in fun educational games and songs, that help build communication and social skills such as listening, taking turns and making eye contact, vital for when he starts school.

Each friendly and supportive class incorporates lots of fun games, songs, & arts & crafts, along with the star of the show “buttons dog” the puppet. All of these things encourage your child to explore different sounds, words, colours, numbers and shapes. These skills are the very first building blocks of literacy and numeracy and help to develop your child in line with some of the governments early years foundation objectives.

While lots of classes focus on sport, dance or music, Little Bright Sparks is the only class that is dedicated to helping your child develop literacy and numeracy skills.
