2025 Kindy Program – Term 1

*P.M.P - Perceptual Motor Program

This program is designed to enhance children's cognitive and motor skills through a variety of physical activities, focusing on movement skills such as balance, coordination, hand-eye coordination, and spatial awareness.

These activities may include crawling, balancing, hopping, and other exercises aimed at developing the children’s motor skills. PMP helps improve physical readiness for academic tasks, enhances concentration, and supports overall cognitive development.

E.L.L.A Program - Early Learning Languages Australia program

This program is a digital, play-based program that introduces children to languages other than English. This year, Grammar ELC will be doing French. In the past, we have enjoyed Japanese. The ELLA Program helps children to develop overall literacy, enhances cognitive abilities, and fosters cultural awareness.
