Did you know that running, climbing, balancing and jumping are doing much more than keeping children active?
These activities build gross motor skills, which help children develop:
⭐ Balance
⭐ Coordination
⭐ Muscle strength
⭐ Confidence
⭐ Readiness for writing and classroom learning
At Bubbly Hippo's, learning happens through movement, exploration and play because active children become confident learners. Research consistently shows that regular movement supports children's physical, cognitive and social development. Contact Sanet Heystek to learn more about how we incorporate gross motor skills into our daily routine, 0721883207.

Behind every confident child is someone who believed in them first.

Thank you for every hug, every encouraging word, every bedtime story and every lesson that helps our children grow into kind, confident and capable individuals.
From all of us at Bubbly Hippo's, Happy Women's Day! 🌸
