Playing in water should be fun and exciting for kids and shouldn't be scary! Parents participation and enthusiasm can be invaluable to their kids water experience as they demonstrate being calm, confident, and happy without fear.
Swimming is not only fun, but it has great benefits for child development. Toddler and Me swim classes provide a special chance for parents and toddlers to bond while discovering the joys of water.
Swimming can boost physical development in children, such as motor skills, coordination, and muscle strength. In Toddler and Me classes, kids get acquainted with water from a young age. Through simple exercises and games guided by Carole, toddlers will learn to float, kick, blow bubbles and even hold their breath underwater. This helps them become more confident in the water and is good for their overall health.
Toddler and Me classes are also important for social development. Toddlers learn important social skills like taking turns, sharing toys, and cooperating with others. Plus, being in different places and meeting new people can stimulate their cognitive development as they observe new faces, sounds, and surroundings.
