Students will engage in expressive movement and song through Dance and Musical Theatre, imaginative play through sensory stations and small world play, plus experimentation in a hands-on creative science class! Our ‘Creative Explorations’ session is drop-off/pick-up, suitable for students 3-5 years. As this is a shorter session, students do not need to be fully tiolet trained, but must wear a nappy for the duration if they are not confident in toileting.
