The My Gym Playgroup Program is designed to physically & mentally prepare children for Preschool. It is Singapore’s first sports-based Playgroup Program. Classes are organized into terms, with each term lasting 8 weeks. You can choose to send your child for 2 days or 4 days or 5 days per week. Our curriculum is carefully structured to enable children to progress at their own pace, and to keep them interested and confident in their skills.
During the first few weeks, children start to familiarize themselves with the surroundings and with the teachers and support staff at My Gym. Most importantly, they begin to interact with other children their age. Children who may initially seem hesitant to accept these new changes, always warm up to the new experience quickly, and begin to thoroughly enjoy every class.
While all My Gym programs, spanning several age groups, are expertly designed to enhance a child’s social, emotional, mental, cognitive, and physical skills, the Playgroup Program is further specialized to help children prepare for preschool. This program is specifically intended for children between the ages of 19 months and 4.5 years old. It is Singapore’s first sports-based Playgroup Program, where the whole classroom becomes a playground. We believe that physical activity has a positive effect on learning and performance, when children are ready to start off at a regular school. The activities in the Playgroup Program help kids develop their sense of self-esteem & sportsmanship, teach them the importance of discipline, and most importantly will imbibe in them the “I CAN DO IT” spirit.
