Pre school – Ages 6 weeks to 5 years old

We are very proud of our pre-school department at AAPA and it has been developed by our faculty over the last 14 years. We start all our little budding stars under the age of 3 years old in our specialist Mac the Monkey classes.  The scientific evidence shows that there is an important link between the participation in an Early Years class in music and dance and the development of the child.  Babies and Toddlers brains are like sponges at this age and our classes stimulate them and give them the vital building blocks for future development at nursery and school.  Our classes enhance and develop the Social, Physical, Lingual, Intellectual, Creative, Emotional, Numeracy and early year’s Literacy skills of your child. By participation in our classes your child will grow in confidence and gain an enjoyment and appreciation of dance, music and drama at an early age giving an ideal head start to your little one.
