Kimmba offers a wide range of playgroups for children of different ages from birth to the early primary school years. Kimmba’s playgroups are designed for children and their carers to come together and enjoy new language learning experiences, meet people from a range of cultural backgrounds and swap ideas about child-rearing in a small group setting. Each playgroup has a leader or teacher who guides children through a range of learning activities including songs, stories, show and tell, snack-time, games, out-door play, role-plays, fine and gross-motor coordination development and more. Carers can get involved or simply observe their children enjoying these engaging 2-hour sessions.
At Kimmba, we specialize in helping families learn a second language even if they don’t already have a background in that language, for example, families who don’t speak Mandarin at home but would like their children to learn Mandarin from a young age. If that is you, you’ve come to the right place. The teachers at Kimmba have special skills to help your family gain confidence in speaking another language with ease. Currently we offer playgroups in either Mandarin, German and Spanish.
Our playgroup programs:
Baby Class:
The session is specially designed for babies between 0-14 months. This structured program incorporates flash cards aimed at exercising babies’ memory and acquiring speech development at an early age. Babies will also gain beneficial exposure to vocabulary building and gross motor skill development through singing, dancing and a series of fun-filled physical, auditory and visual stimulation activities.
Toddler Class:
It is suitable for toddlers between 13 to around 30 months. It is a structured program that aims at helping toddlers build up new vocabularies and follow instruction in the target language. Puzzles, reading picture books, group games, play dough, cut and paste, colouring in, singing, dancing, show and tell, and story time.
Mixed age playgroup:
This is suitable for families with toddlers and babies. It is a structured program aimed at the toddlers (the main learner) but includes babies as well. Activities in this playgroup are similar to the toddlers’ playgroup, with a more flexible plan to accommodate little ones.
Kinder Class:
This program is designed for toddlers who are older than 30 months old and have shown some signs of becoming independent and participating with minimum parental participation. It is a two-hour structured program, which aims at helping kinder-aged children to learn through theme orientated play. The program helps them develop concentration skills and learn how to focus by participating in group and individual games. The activities include literacy, drama and speech, fine motor skill development, singing, dancing, show and tell and stories.
