Additional activities

Dance

Dance is an excellent way to develop musical and artistic sensitivity, support coordination, and allow children to express their creativity. Moving to the rhythm of the music, children have the opportunity to express their emotions and enjoy the movement. Dance helps break shyness, teaches teamwork, enhances musicality, and improves motor memory. While learning dance steps and simple choreographic routines, children develop body and spatial awareness, as well as a sense of rhythm. Thanks to regular dance classes, children gain greater self-confidence and the ability to express themselves through movement.

Judo

Judo, or “the gentle way” (Jap. 柔道), is a martial art from Japan. In our kindergarten, judo is a comprehensive sports activity that integrates elements of this traditional Japanese martial art. Judo classes in our kindergarten aim to teach concentration, group cooperation, and foster correct and friendly attitudes in the context of sport. Through judo, children develop holistically, learning self-discipline, respect for others, and responsibility. It is an excellent form of activity that supports the physical and mental development of children, offering a solid foundation for a healthy and balanced life.

General Development Classes

Gymnastics helps develop basic motor skills such as jumping, running, climbing, and balancing. Children learn to control their bodies, which improves coordination, dexterity, and balance. Additionally, children develop their motor skills, strengthen muscles and bones, improve flexibility, and learn proper posture. Regular gymnastics exercises strengthen children’s muscles and bones, which is especially important during periods of intense growth.

Ball Activities

During ball exercises, children learn to jump, run, improve flexibility, agility, coordination, and reaction speed. Ball activities also cultivate character traits such as regularity, perseverance, self-discipline, a sense of justice, and responsibility. They learn to undertake tasks independently and work in a group. Children also learn to follow accepted norms and rules and cope with emotions related to winning and losing.

Yoga

These classes support motor coordination and develop concentration, relaxation, and stress management skills. Children learn basic yoga positions and breathing and relaxation techniques. During classes, we also introduce short mindfulness exercises, which help develop attention and concentration. Thanks to these exercises, children learn to be more present and focused, positively affecting their daily lives and well-being.

Music Activities

Children love music, singing, movement, and having fun, and during music workshops, there is time for all these elements. During music sessions, children immerse themselves in sounds, sing, dance, tap rhythms on drums, shake maracas, move tambourines, and strike the woodblock. Instructors present original instruments and musical repertoires and talk about rhythms, melodies, and sound structures.

Interesting Guests

At Hello KIDS, we plan regular guests’visits, enriching our children’s experiences and bringing joy and learning to their daily activities. These will be various meetings and shows, providing unforgettable experiences and opportunities to learn new things. These will include:

Theatrical Performances:Regular visits from theater groups will bring children to the magical world of stories and fairy tales; professional theatrical performances develop imagination, teach empathy, and introduce elements of culture into the daily lives of kindergarteners.

Experimental Activities: These will be excellent opportunities to explore the world of science. Children will be able to conduct simple experiments themselves, stimulating their curiosity and desire to learn and helping them understand basic principles of physics, chemistry, and biology.

Animal Shows: We also plan animal shows, allowing children to get to know various species up close and learn more about their habits and natural environment. Meetings with animals teach responsibility, empathy, and respect for nature.

Sensory Play: Sensory development activities through play with different materials will also be a regular part of our program. This helps children develop their creativity, manual skills, and imagination.

We will invite actors, athletes, and other interesting guests to the kindergarten, who will share their experiences and passions. These meetings will inspire children, showing them various career paths and possibilities for their future.

Dog Therapy

Dog therapy sessions at our kindergarten are conducted by qualified therapists and appropriately trained dogs. Each session is carefully planned and tailored to the needs and capabilities of the children. They participate in various activities, such as playing and games with the dog, learning basic commands and behaviors towards animals, motor and agility exercises, and petting and cuddling the dog. Interaction with therapy dogs helps our children develop emotional, social, and physical skills in a friendly and safe environment.

Sleepovers

We plan to organize a special event for our kindergarteners periodically – sleepovers. This unforgettable adventure gives children the opportunity to spend a night full of attractions and fun at the kindergarten. It will undoubtedly be a unique experience that children will remember with a smile for a long time.
