Wee Peas
Dive into the world of discovery with our Wee Peas program, tailor-made for the tiniest tots learning to sit and crawl. In a safe and colorful environment, your little one will explore movement, reach, and grasp, laying the groundwork for holistic baby development.
Our Wee Peas program, carefully designed for babies learning to sit and crawl, provides our littlest scooters with active learning activities focusing on the whole baby's development. Wee Peas are given opportunities to move, reach, and grasp in a baby-safe environment rich with color, sound, and tactile experiences.
Wee Peas learn to recognize their name in class and react by identifying themselves to the teacher.
Wee Peas enjoy activities that promote visual tracking, core strength, and balance needed for sitting and standing.
The Wee Pea curriculum includes activities that promote grip strength and hand coordination when grasping and releasing objects. Other objectives include activities that promote crossing the midline and bilateral awareness needed for crawling and walking.
Wee Peas work on spatial awareness and positional comfort through gentle developmentally appropriate rolling and inversion exercises. Wee Peas also enjoy some of their first experiences in playing and learning with other babies and gain cornerstone lessons in social awareness through interacting with their Wee Pea friends!
Wee Peas are in the golden first 12 months of life. Amazing neural miracles are taking place in this precious first year! Did you know that movements that involve crossing the midline encourage cognitive function?
Cross-lateral movements, for example, involve passing an object from the right hand to the left hand or using the right foot to step over the left foot. Cross-lateral movements work on both sides of the body in a balanced way and require coordinated movements of both eyes, ears, hands, and feet. Cross-lateral activities activate both hemispheres and all four lobes of the brain, heightening cognitive function and engaging learning processes.
Movement primes Wee Peas for learning. The Sweet Peas Educational Gymnastics Program is designed to provide fun and delightful cognitive and developmental opportunities in an active learning environment.
