Developed by Tumble Tots, Leaps and Bounds is a progressive physical and movement programme for children aged from walking up to five years which has been designed to complement the indoor and outdoor physical activities provided by Pre-school settings.
Children are encouraged through a sequence of tasks to develop skills including: locomotion, agility, balance, climbing, co-ordination and language development through the use of action songs and rhymes.
In 2006 Leaps and Bounds was awarded a Kite Mark by Professional Development Board of Physical Education (PDB). This kitemark is a quality endorsement recognised by DCSF.
How does Leaps and Bounds work?
* Fun, exciting and flexible yearly lesson plans designed to fit in with the timetable of any pre-school setting.* Trained instructors deliver colour coded activity blocks. Each block has a specific learning objective that is reinforced and revised. Each activity has specific teaching points and progressions to help the child develop at their own pace.
* Involvement with parents. At the beginning of each block children are given objectives and suggested activities to enjoy at home.
* At the end of each 30 minute session each child will receive an achievement sticker (e.g. I can jump). Thus reinforcing the objectives achieved during that particular week.
* At the end of every block, each child will receive a certificate outlining what they have achieved.
* At the end of all the blocks for that year there is a celebration of achievement. Each child will receive a medal.
