The Y Preschool Recreation Programmes at Bishopdale are designed to encourage and support active participation and physical movement through age and stage specific exploration.

Our programmes support the development of key motor skills, co-ordination and body awareness in a fun, safe and social environment.

Join the Y community where we provide programmes and activities to encourage social and physical engagement for all ages, stages and abilities
 


 

Baby Explore

A class made for your smallest – we explore social and physical skills for little ones to broaden their experiences in this world through their senses. Baby Explore will be focused on sensory play and activities that stimulate their senses: touch, smell, taste, movement, balance, sight, and hearing.

This class will provide you with ideas that can be easily incorporated into your everyday home life to encourage creative play and exploration. We welcome children from birth up to crawling – with elements of tummy time, massage and movement and song including a combination of original nursery rhymes incorporating te reo Māori to develop early language skills.

This is a fantastic opportunity to meet and connect with other parents on the same journey.

Our preschool sessions are structured to help children develop their motor skills, confidence and body awareness.

Active participation is required by the caregiver as children move through the equipment and activities at their own pace.
