Physical fun, learning & development
for kids

When we developed Funky Feet, we paid particular attention to the “attitude” of coaches, taking into consideration how they think, manage their emotions and behave. All our coaches are considered to possess emotional intelligence, a quality we believe is essential for the effective development and management of positive relationships with children and parents.
This attitudinal model of delivery is what sets us apart from similar programmes or groups, which place much greater focus on a technical model of delivery.

Why Is This Important?

Children learn through their senses including observing and mimicking those close to them. When pre-school aged children play, they learn and as such we focus much of our attention on providing a fun setting where children can play, have fun and learn.
Playing allows children to gain a sense of their own abilities, improves their confidence and lets them feel good about themselves. You know yourself – when something is fun, you engage more with it and get more out of the activity.
Fundamental movement skills such as running, jumping, hopping, skipping along with co-ordination and balance are learned and developed through a variety of different action songs. Songs are a mix of childhood favourite nursery rhymes along with catchy songs that are quickly learnt.
Each session also incorporates an element of structured behavioural play, revolving around a different piece of equipment each week. For example our sessions include, bean bags, hoops, racket and ball etc and are planned in a way so that each sessions focuses on teaching your child something new, or helping them to develop in a specific way. It has been proven that group play helps young children to develop their physical, social, emotional and intellectual skills through participation and interaction – a key reason why Funky Feet was created.
