About Little n Active

 

Little n Active introduces children to the basic skills they need to live active, healthy lives and builds the foundation for all sports. Classes are grouped by age and developmental stages, with activities tailored to each child’s needs.

Held in a safe and welcoming space, parents actively join in as children explore movement, develop social skills, and encourage problem-solving through fun, engaging activities.

Little n Active Classes

The Little n Active classes include the following class structure:

🔎 Welcome & open exploration
👩🏽‍🤝‍👩🏻 Group time
🌄 Guided adventures
👋 Farewell

Our 45-minute classes are grouped by developmental stages, and active parental participation is a key component of the program. Themed adventures are also used each fortnight and are the foundation for the learning stories that are created.

Age Groups

  • Playtime: 0 to 4 years

    Supports early development with sensory play that builds strength, encourages first steps, and offers a fun, social start to movement.

  • Munchkins: 18 months to 2.5 years

    Munchkins classes are for confident walkers learning to run, jump, and follow simple directions while exploring through play and imitation.

  • Sprouts: 2.5 to 4 years

    For confident movers learning to balance, hop, and kick while building social skills like sharing, playing together, and using their imagination.

  • Tykes: 4 to 5 years

    Classes support children gaining independence, with fun, challenging activities that build listening skills, cooperation, and confidence.

  • Sibs: Crawling to 5 years

    Sibs is perfect for families with one adult and siblings under five, offering activities for different developmental stages with less hands-on help.

Little n Active Adventures

With new adventures every fortnight, there’s always something fresh and exciting to explore! Take a look at what’s coming up next.

  • Winter Wonderland

    Commences 30 June

    Snowflakes are falling in our Little n Active Winter Wonderland!

    Children learn to balance on a snowboard, freeze like a statue, slide down the slope like a penguin and hang upside down like an icicle.

  • Space

    Commences 14 July

    3, 2, 1… let’s blast off like rockets launching into space and touch the stars!

    Children will practice dodging the meteor shower, climbing like an alien, jumping over craters and crawling through black holes.

    Join us as we spin in the flying saucer, collect moon rocks and roll like an asteroid.

  • When I Grow Up

    Commences 28 July

    Little one can’t wait to grow up? At Little n Active children can play the part now!

    Children score points like a famous basketball player, post letters like a postie, and crawl down into the mine shaft to find gold like a miner.

    Slide out of the station like a firefighter, then vault over the fence like a police officer.

  • The Farm

    Commences 11 August

    It’s going to be a busy day on the Little n Active farm!

    First, we climb the ladder to pick apples from the tree, collect the eggs from the hen house, plant carrots then lasso the cows.

    Children learn to tip toe past the sleeping dog, count the sheep, roll like a pig in mud and scare away the crows.

  • Under the Sea

    Commences 25 August

    Dive under the sea to glide like a manta ray, slither like an eel and walk sideways like a crab.

    Children help lobsters with their pincers, find matching pearls, tickle jellyfish and catch fish.

  • Where's Active

    Commences 8 September

    Detective hats are as we discover the different ways to move with Active – up, down, near and far!

    Children play instruments with the Band Dog, run quickly with the Fast Dog, tiptoe with the Slow Dog and climb ladders with the Brave Dog.

  • Circus

    Commences 22 September

    Roll up, roll up, the Little n Active circus is in town!

    Children find their balance on the tightrope, swing like trapeze artists and take big steps like a silly clown.

    We build coordination and movement skills as children learn to move like an acrobat, juggle and twirl like a circus ringleader!
