School Age Children

“You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way!”

Dr Seuss

Our school-age children need security. As parents and caregivers, we create this secure base through loving limits and routines that guide them as they grow and explore. Children need our patience and guidance in learning to be in all their spaces from school to home.
There is no book nor website that will tell you how to get your relationship right with your child. There will be times when it’s hard. But if you hold onto what works well and learn from when you are not at your best your child will feel loved and secure.
We strive to provide programmes and activities that supports your loving relationship with your child.
