At KindyROO, we work on the premise that learning is sensory motor based and can be systematically developed on a physiological basis to promote academic readiness. In today’s world, we believe the ‘wait and see' and 'she’ll be right' attitude is fraught with risk. There is just too much interference from the modern way of life. This means that babies and small children need lots of the appropriate sensory stimulation and lots of opportunities to move. Because the brain develops in a very logical and sequential manner, certain sensory and movement experiences are more beneficial at certain ages. For example, the brain is most receptive to learning language in the first eleven months of life! It is the same for motor development. The patterns of movement are like building blocks for the next level of movement skill. That’s why babies crawl on their tummies before creeping on all fours, cruising the furniture and finally walking. At KindyROO, our classes are based on the appropriate sensory and movement experiences required for healthy brain development. We are not focused on making children better than everyone else… our aim is to help children develop to their own potential, whatever that may be. Healthy brain development is the foundation for future learning Development is sequential and based on a child’s experiences. Developmental milestones are a record of this sequential pathway of development and at KindyROO we aim to ensure that babies and young children are given the opportunity to meet all the developmental milestones. These early patterns of movement provide the foundational neuronal pathways in the brain that enable higher–order thinking to occur.
