Zumba
Zumba classes for young children feature child-friendly routines based on Zumba choreography. The steps are broken down and games, activities cultural exploration elements are added to the class structure. These activities have numerous benefits for brain development. The movement and coordination of limbs creates communication between the right and left hemispheres of the brain, which creates the potential for higher intellectual thought, rhythm, and tempo.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Children interact with different learning concepts associated with math and science and have the opportunity to expand vocabulary.
ACTION YOGA
Yoga promotes physical strength as children learn to use muscles in new ways. Each pose can challenge various muscle groups while helping a child become aware of their body. Yoga enhances physical flexibility and helps children to develop their focus and concentration. It also refines their balancing capabilities while they practice different postures, and it helps to bring learning to children on an experiential level.
ECOLOGICAL STUDIES
This important key area relates to the children’s everyday lives, homes, families, the environment, community and the wider world. Our children at RMM learn about their immediate environment by exploration, investigation and discovery through first-hand experiences with nature. These activities and experiences lay a strong foundation in our children for later, more formal learning about the natural and man-made environments found on our planet Earth.
