Lessons are designed to encourage the child’s development in a variety of areas including:

Gross and Fine Motor Skills

Leaping Lizards promotes the development of gross motor skills, such as running and jumping, alongside fine motor skills like precise hand movements, ensuring a balanced approach to physical growth.

Spatial Awareness

Our programs help children enhance their spatial awareness, allowing them to understand and navigate their environment with confidence and accuracy.

Visual & Auditory Skills

We engage children in activities that strengthen both visual and auditory skills, fostering improved perception, attention, and sensory processing.

Eye-Hand/Foot Co-ordination

Leaping Lizards encourages the development of eye-hand and eye-foot coordination, enabling children to improve their ability to perform tasks requiring precise movements and timing.

Balance

Through dynamic exercises and fun activities, we help children build core strength and balance, essential for stability and overall physical health.

These lessons include:

  • Free Play – time for the child to explore the environment, to create his/her own idea of how to use the equipment, socialization with peers and their carer and learning/practicing the skill of sharing and taking turns.
  • Exercises – mobilization of body parts, enhance muscle tone, develop understanding of directions and interpreting them.
  • Activity Time 1 – may include the following activities – tumbling skills, animal walks, eye-hand co-ordination, a fun activity with parent/carer.
  • Dance – a gross motor activity where children can jump, skip, hop and stimulate the vestibular system (a part of the brain which enhances balance and co-ordination) by the parent swinging the child.
  • Activity Time 2 – this is specifically used to develop a child’s skill level with a particular piece of apparatus eg. bat and ball, bean bag. It will involve eye-hand co-ordination, gross motor, muscle tone and balance.
  • Climbing – enhances muscle tone and strength, balance, spatial and body awareness, gross motor, concepts and how to climb safely.
  • Sticks – development of the fine motor skills, body awareness, eye-hand co-ordination, following directions (both visual and auditory), rhythm.
  • Parachute – a fun time for carer and child to come together with balloons or lizards and songs to complete the lesson.
