Parent & Toddler ‘Makaton’, Sing & Dance Classes Coming To Stone!
Stone’s popular Rooftop Studios has long been the hub of fun and learning for local youngsters wanting to embrace singing, dancing and the performing arts - and soon it will launch brand new ‘Parent & Toddler’ classes to encourage even the tiniest tots.
Aimed at mums (or dads / carers!) with babies aged 18 months to 3 years, these classes are an extension of Rooftop’s fantastic ‘Little Luvvies’ group, which teaches singing, dancing and co-ordination to 3 – 8 year olds. The new classes will allow mums and their little ones to get involved in activities that are perfect for toddlers; including learning nursery rhymes with actions and some Makaton signing – which has been popularised by CBeebies’ Justin Fletcher (aka ‘Mr. Tumble’). The ultimate aim of the classes is to get mums and babies to socialise in a relaxed environment, as Rooftop Studios’ principal, Elaine Bird, explains:
“We believe in making learning fun and in building self-confidence from a young age. The new ‘Parent & Toddler’ classes will focus on encouraging little ones to socialise, teaching them how to communicate with other toddlers and bond with mum – as well as providing mums with a wider social network and useful tools they can use to occupy their babies at home.”
Classes will take place on Friday mornings from 10am – 11am at Rooftop Studios, above the Co-Op Arcade on the High Street and are priced £5 per mum and baby (tea, coffee & juice provided), with each term running for 12 weeks*. There will also be a special free ‘trial’ session on Fri 17th Feb, 2012 to celebrate the launch – simply turn up with your baby and join in the fun!
