Brilliant Bites Coming soon!

It doesn't have to be boring and difficult to understand nutrition, we hope to bring a positive and up beat look at healthy foods and healthy bodies to kids ranging from grades 1st. - 5th . The games and stories, activities and take home work sheets will bring a memorable experience with learning that can change the shape of the food choices our kids are making and literally change the shape of their future. 
       This 6 week course is stripped of all of the controversy and teaches simple basic nutrition in an exciting and fun way that will leave a lasting impression on your child. We focus on the positive and encourage activity and healthy choices with an understanding of why our bodies would need these substances. There are many hands on games and fun things like races between the teams of "simple carbs "and "complex carbs."  The super hero of breakfast and the villain of inactivity.

Book your own group with a six week course (prices vary for group size and location)

Mom and me Sensory play - Coming soon

Sensory activities, in addition to being fun and interesting for babies and young children, encourage children to explore and investigate. Furthermore, these activities support children to use the ‘scientific method’ of observing, forming a hypothesis, experimenting and making conclusions.

Sensory activities also allow children to refine their thresholds for different sensory information, helping their brain to create stronger connections to sensory information and learn which are useful and which can be filtered out.

For example, a child may find it difficult to play with other children when there is too much going on in their environment with conflicting noises or sights.

Through sensory play, the child can learn to block out the noise which is not important and focus on the play which is occurring with their peer.

Another example is a child who is particularly fussy with eating foods with a wet texture such as spaghetti.

The use of sensory play can assist the child with touching, smelling and playing with the texture in an environment with little expectation. As the child develops trust and understanding of this texture it helps build positive pathways in the brain to say it is safe to engage with this food.
