Hartbeeps
This session is suitable for Children who are Confidently Walking to Preschool. We're excited to be able to offer parents/carers and their toddlers a FREE course of Hartbeeps: Happy House. Welcome to the busy, high energy world of Happy House. Developed for and with the busy little folk - namely - toddlers! A child is ready to take part in Happy House when they are walking confidently. Even is they are newly walking and the gross motor movement training is in over drive, Happy House will still suit that child. So let’s remember that our Happy House children (in the words of the great Cyndi Lauper), just ‘wanna’ have fun...they also want to FEEL love and BE understood. Where this is a demand for places priority will be given to people attending for the first time.
