The Kids Aquatic Survival School (KASS) program is very different to most swimming lessons. Regular swim lessons for 1 – 4 year olds are primarily water familiarisation, not survival lessons. One in every ten fatal drownings in Australia are children under the age of 4 so it only makes sense that these are the children that are also learning how to swim and float without floatation aids or parents holding them in the water singing nursery rhymes. KASS deliver Australia’s safest, most effective, accelerated aquatic survival program for non-verbal infants and young children. Our program focuses on aquatic survival skills…

19/01/2024

While kids love to get their hands dirty with paint, the benefits of art classes for kids extend far beyond the creation of a pretty picture or a memorable photobook collection.

Getting time off the screens and engaging with hands on creativity, as well as making new friends is a huge bonus! Kids Art Classes Allow your child’s artistic talents to blossom at The Art Studio’s best…
