Multi-Sensory Environments use the neuroscience behind how we learn to teach lessons that engage two or more senses. Using sound, light and movement these environments provide a truly immersive experience for all age groups. A multi-sensory environment can be used to encourage everything from relaxation to motor skills using a range of products.
The sessions will also use the power of music enabling the children to express themselves and use their imagination. Imagination is a vital tool in early childhood development, allowing children to explore, learn, and create. By nurturing their imaginative abilities, we empower them to think outside the box, develop problem-solving skills, and embrace their unique perspectives.
These sessions are available for Nurseries, Sure Start, Mother and Toddlers Groups, Fathers and Toddlers Group and primary 1 pupils.
Maximum number of children is 10 (accompanied with group leaders or parents). This programmed is free and places will be offered on a first come first served basis. Booking can be made by contacting the Tower Reception on 028 71371411 or via email [email protected]
