Leaps and Bounds Edinburgh

 

 Leaps and Bounds is a unique progressive skills development programme, designed for nursery children from walking confidently to school age. The programme is structured and split into various skill based blocks that underpin the framework of the Curriculum for Excellence. It complements Nurseries on-going  curriculum for physical skills development. 

 

The Leaps and Bounds programme is branded into 3 age groups, Walking to 2 years, 2 to 3's and 3 to school age. The lesson plans are structured but flexible and the children are encouraged to learn at their own pace. Each age range has been designed to suit the skill level of the children.

 

There are 5 blocks, Red, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple, at the beginning of each block, the children are given a leaflet stating the objectives and some ideas of activities to try at home. On the back of the leaflet there are spaces for the children to stick on their weekly achievement sticker. At the end of each block the children are awarded a certificate.​

 

The children develop skills including locomotion, agility, balance, climbing and co-ordination. Children are praised and encouraged to develop to their full potential. Positive social skills are learnt in a fun, challenging and rewarding environment, which prepares them for their school years ahead.​​
