Early Years Foundation Stage

EYFS-2

Physical development has been rightfully elevated in the EYFS revised structure. MovementWorks provides specialist Early Years Developmental Dance Movement® (DDM) Programmes. Appropriately crafted for any early years setting sessions take the form of various dance-based games and activities which link to early learning goals.

(Read about our scientifically validated research)

The programme, grounded in rigorous academic research was informed by Montessori pedagogy, which puts the child at the centre of learning while the role of the teacher is to guide children in their learning without becoming an obstacle to allow the child to develop at their own unique pace. Teachers also demonstrate and model learning activities whilst providing freedom for the students to learn in their own way

Sessions are designed to develop the specific co-ordination and control which will help the children prepare for school and learning; they are not focused on traditional technical dance achievement or steps and are therefore appealing to both boys and girls and support development of skills which create the ideal foundation for the physical and rhythmical awareness and control necessary to excel in any physical activity.
