KIDDIRAMA for the Under 5's

Kiddirama believes that children are 'not made for sitting'. That is why children are not expected to 'sit still' and 'be quiet' during sessions. They can rock, roll, shuffle, hustle, bustle... and fully engage in a way that they feel comfortable and able. That is why sessions are jam-packed with lots and lots of fantastic things to do and see.

A Family Affair
​Why should kids have all the fun?!
Kiddirama, firmly believes that sessions are not just for the little kids to enjoy. Big kids (aka grown-up) are also welcome to get up and join in. Kids love to follow - so if the little kids see all the big kids getting involved, then they will want to join in all the more!

AGE & SUITABILITY
Kiddirama welcomes all children aged 0-5 years old and their carers. Kiddirama fully supports and encourages all children to interact and learn from each other.

Kiddirama support
multi-aged learning and does not put a limit on how or what a child is capable of learning, particularly at this early stage in their development. 

Research has shown that even sleeping babies are often aware of what is going on around them. Whilst their eyes maybe tight shut, all their other senses are wide awake and soaking up everything around them. 

Therefore, whether your child is up and mobile or a babe in arms, there are plenty of ways in which they can and will engage.
