Red Apple Balwyn North Programs
Bush Kinder
At Red Apple we view the Bush Kinder as an extension of our kindergarten program. Children have the opportunity of enjoying long periods of child-lead play to become problem solvers and learn to enjoy and respect the natural environment as they build a deeper relationship with nature.
Both our Balwyn and Vermont Centres run Bush Kinder programs.
Early Childhood Language Program
At our Balwyn service we offer a language program the session is run by an accredited teacher to teach the children mandarin.
Happy Feet
At both Balwyn and Vermont we offer a dance and fitness program called Happy Feet, Miss Caitlyn has been teaching and dancing with our children for many years.
Hey Dee Ho
The Hey Dee Ho Music program is an educational music experience where concepts of beat, rhythm, tempo, pitch and dynamics are taught in a fun, play based environment. Each session is based around one key theme and the children are then able to engage in songs, dances and actions based around these themes. We run Hey Dee Ho on a Tuesday Morning with a 30 minute session for all age groups across the service.
Fun-key Yoga
Funk-key yoga is the perfect blend of relaxation techniques and noisy, animated fun. Fun-key yoga uses storytelling, games, music and props to engage the Childen both physically and mentally. Promoting health and wellbeing, children have a strong sense of self and belonging whilst stretching their bodies and minds in a playful and nurturing environment. Fun-key yoga is run on a Monday morning with a 30minute session for all age groups across the service.
Incursions/Excursions
We have a very extensive incursion and excursion program at the centre. We believe in fostering a sense of belonging and collaboration within our community. Through regular community walks, visits to local businesses and continual community engagement, we aim to build and maintain strong relationships within the community. See our calendar of events here.
