We are delighted to continue our Neurodivergent Studio Saturdays. These Saturdays host a variety of workshops tailored to children with additional needs/neurodivergence. One adult guardian is required to attend with a child/children and can feel free to join in the fun. dlr Libraries will also have an area set up with a selection of sensory toys and equipment. Should children need time to self-regulate, there will be space and time to do so.

Active Kids Academy are delighted to return for another gentle and fun Studio Saturday. Our session will offer something for everyone from obstacle courses to the slower pace of fine motor skills activities such as number blocks & peg boards. We will also have a small sensory play section for the children to get their hands into. 

Children can play at their own level and choose between lots of different activities that interest them. The emphasis is on creating a safe, fun environment to allow the children to be themselves, play at their own pace and enjoy the activities that interest them. We will have a wide range of games & activities such as parachute play but the children are free to interact at a level they are comfortable with or to play independently if they prefer. 

All of our activities & games are designed to work on things such as gross & fine motor skills, fundamental sports skills, social skills, communication, co ordination and much more but to the children they are just having fun. With our activities there is no competition, turn taking or waiting around, our aim is for the children to be active, engaged, enjoying themselves and want to come back for more!
