Classes for little people
Discover exciting opportunities for young children to explore what their bodies can do, express themselves and connect with friends!
Designed by occupational therapist, Isobel Lyall, our early childhood classes are an excellent first step on the way to formal education, and also build children's pretend play abilities, which are linked to the development of language and literacy.
Our classes are delightful for parents and grandparents too, as we invite you to join in the fun, coach and model for your child, and to enjoy the rich relationships that develop between the children, parents and our nurturing teachers.
Term 1 2020: February 10 - April 11 (9 weeks)
Can't wait till the start of term? Join us in the school holidays - we have classes for little people at 9am every day from Jan 6-9 and Jan 13-16.
Play to Learn Toddlers Circus
Toddlers Circus is for ages 18 months to 3 years, but our age ranges are flexible, so if you have children at different ages, you can bring them to the same class. Parents are invited to participate in the class to provide additional support and assistance. Classes are available in two locations:
Darlington Hall:
Tuesdays 10.00am-10.45am
CirQuest HQ in North Perth:
Wednesdays 9.30am-10.15am
Thursdays 9.30am-10.15am
Wanneroo Recreation Centre
Fridays 10.00am-10.45am
Fees: $160 for the term (9 classes)
or $18 drop-in
Play to Learn Preschool Circus
Once children are a bit bigger, they are ready for a longer, more structured class, and for more advanced gross motor skills to be introduced. Preschool Circus classes are for 3-5 year olds and can be combined with either Let's Get Messy! sensory play group, or Crafternoons for 4-5 year olds, to make an extended half-day that promotes school readiness.
Darlington Hall:
Tuesdays 11.00am-12 noon
CirQuest HQ in North Perth:
Wednesdays 11.30am-12.30pm
Thursdays 10.30am-11.30pm

Let's Get Messy
Messy play is important for the development of children's sensory processing skills, and is so much fun! Best of all, we can enjoy cleaning up together afterwatds. Each week, Isobel prepares a different sensory exploration activity for the children to get stuck into. Let's Ger Messy is for 18 months-4 year olds.

Crafternoons
Crafternoons are a new activity for children aged 3-4 years (who no longer need a sleep during the day!), including all the benefits of sensory play but with a more defined outcome. Over the course of a term of classes, we’ll progress from very simple activities with play-based process and open outcomes, toward following a more structured process to achieve an outcome that is more defined, while still allowing lots of avenues for creative exploration and individual expression.
