The KinderGym! (Grown up Info!)
Welcome to the wonderfully exciting and challenging world of KinderGym!
Educational research tells us that children learn best through exploring and discovering their abilities through physical activity. Movement is an exciting world for children. Play is a vital learning tool for every child and they need to move to learn while progressively building simple movement patterns into more complex skills.
Terrey Hills KinderGym program ensures children can experience a wide range of movement activities and be encouraged to think, create, construct and solve problems with their own bodies. Each child is an individual and should be encouraged and supported to develop and learn at their own rate.
Terrey Hills KinderGym program has been founded on child development principles and is steered by the KinderGym Australia Guiding Principles. It promotes the child as the key focal point and involves active participation of the child’s mother, father or carer.
An Accredited KinderGym Leader guides each program, ensuring that the equipment set-ups are safe, stimulating and provide endless movement opportunities for your child to play and learn. Terrey Hills KinderGym programs also assist in your child’s motor, cognitive and social-emotional development, co-ordination and self-esteem. The opportunities enhance the child’s natural energy and enthusiasm
Terrey Hills KinderGym includes involvement of both the child and their adult caregiver. It is this element that sets Terrey Hills KinderGym apart from other programs offered within gymnastics and the wider community. Child and adult interaction is the fundamental ideology on which these Guiding Principles have been developed.
