When choosing the right childcare for your little one, it’s natural to want more than just a safe and caring environment. Parents and families are increasingly seeking early learning centres that offer a range of activities to nurture their child’s development. At Amaze Early Education Childcare Centres, we provide a well rounded curriculum packed with engaging, age appropriate activities designed to support your child’s growth. Here’s a closer look at the types of activities offered in childcare at Amaze and how they benefit your child.
Types of Activities Offered in Childcare: What Your Child Will Love at Amaze
Structured Indoor Classroom Activities
Our indoor classroom activities are thoughtfully planned to support each child’s learning journey. These include arts and crafts, sensory play, puzzles, fine motor skill activities (e.g. stacking blocks, lacing cards, playing with moulding clay, early numeracy and literacy games, and much more.
How it benefits your child:
Structured indoor activities encourage focus, creativity, and problem-solving skills. They help children develop fine motor coordination, early academic foundations, and social interaction as they learn to share and collaborate with their peers.
Outdoor Play
If your child enrols at Amaze, they will have plenty of opportunities to explore the outdoors, because we adopt the outdoor learning philosophy, where children are encouraged to explore and learn in nature. Each of our centres has safe and stimulating, internationally-inspired outdoor spaces that incorporate elements from global cultures and natural environments.
The playgrounds’ diverse architectural styles, natural materials, and thematic features from various countries and ecosystems help create unique and enriching play experiences. Activities the littlies love include climbing, sand and water play, ball games, bike riding, nature-based exploration, and more.
How it benefits your child:
Outdoor play provides a natural outlet for energy and supports emotional regulation. It also helps develop gross motor skills, enhance balance and coordination, and build strength and physical endurance. Moreover, playing outdoors encourages risk assessment, independence, and resilience—essential life skills that are crucial for personal growth.
Additionally, the little explorers receive their daily dose of Vitamin D. As a Sundicators Centre, we provide children with UV indicator stickers/bands to protect them from the sun’s harmful rays.
Storytime
One of the most essential types of activities offered in childcare is storytime. Every day, our early childhood educators dedicate time to reading with the children in an engaging and interactive way. Storytime involves books, visual aids, puppets, and questions that invite participation.
How it benefits your child:
Storytime helps build early literacy skills, vocabulary, listening, and comprehension. It fosters a love for reading and supports cognitive development. Listening to stories also helps children learn about emotions, empathy, and the world around them.
Music and Movement Classes
Music plays a special role at Amaze. We incorporate singing, rhythm games, dance, and instruments into our curriculum, encouraging children to express themselves through sound and movement.
How it benefits your child:
Music supports language development, memory, and listening skills. Movement-based musical activities, such as playing the drums, enhance coordination and physical confidence, while group music sessions foster social interaction and emotional expression.
Mealtimes
Good nutrition is the foundation of a happy, healthy child. One of the unique activities offered in childcare at Amaze is our mealtimes. Why? Because the children’s meals are freshly prepared onsite each day by our dedicated chef, under the guidance of a qualified dietitian. We cater to different dietary needs and ensure meals are both nourishing and yummy—no need for you to pack lunches for your little one.
How it benefits your child:
Mealtimes at Amaze aren’t just about nutrition, they’re also a social learning experience. Children are encouraged to practice table manners, independence, and try new foods. Eating a well-balanced diet supports brain development, energy levels, and overall health, setting children up for success throughout the day.
