Let Monkeynastix take your child on a journey of discovery that will not only shape the body, but wire the mind for academic success.
Children are born to move and through Monkeynastix we encourage them to explore and discover the world through their senses and their
bodies with our fun and exciting movement education programme - designed by specialists, endorsed by therapists and teachers, and loved by kids!

There is a direct connection between the large body movements involved in climbing, running, walking, swimming and ball play, and the small movements necessary for reading and writing activities. |
|
Babies and young children learn from the inside out. Their core muscle strength is vital to healthy overall development and for laying strong foundations for higher order learning. |
|
Children need to repeat movements thousands of times in many different ways to master them and gain confidence. |
|
When a child is moving he or she is not just working his or her body, but the eye muscles too. The co-ordination between the eyes and hands and the eyes and feet is integral to overall development. |

Children today are living in smaller environments eg. Townhouses and clusters. |
|
Children have increasingly limited access to large gardens and jungle gym equipment. |
|
Children are at risk of spending too much time in front of a screen instead of moving around. Eg. Computers, TV, electronic games, cell-phone games etc. |
|
Security concerns limit the free exploration of the environment by children. |
