Discover how you can help your child learn through playing in our interactive, hands-on and fun 8-weeks’ programme!

​

Led by a qualified Speech and Language Consultant and her team members from BOLD & ACS, the programme aims to:

​

• help parents understand that play equals learning;

• encourage self-directed play; and

• enhance your child’s overall development: physical, social, emotional, cognitive, speech, language and communication skills.

The play activities (e.g. water and sand play, art and craft, games, songs, storytelling) will enable your child and you to find out what your child likes. You will then be better equipped to understand your child’s strengths, plan play activities accordingly, have fun and spend quality time together.

“Just want to share from the playgroup session that XXX learns to use the brown bear song but creates his own lyric base on what he sees. We are so thrilled to see his improvement and want to share with all the teachers.”

​

“This playgroup provides different types of stations and allows kid and parent explore the unknown part of ourselves. We are thankful and happy that we came.”
