Shake, Rattle and Grow with Gymbaroo-Kindyroo - Maitland, NSW!

🎶 Music and movement aren’t just fun — they’re essential for early development! From rhythm and coordination to language and emotional growth, every wiggle, bounce, and beat helps build the brain. 🧠💃🧒

At GymbaROO Branxton (right next to Branxton Preschool at The NEST), we combine music, movement and play to support babies, toddlers and preschoolers through every stage of their development.

Join our welcoming community and see your child thrive — one song and dance at a time! 🎵✨

We hold classes at Branxton on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Call us on 0403 390 227 to find out more.

Another successful Read, Create, and Play session took place yesterday all about farm animals!
The children had a blast listening to engaging stories about life on the farm and participating in fun hands-on activities. From mooing like cows to clucking like chickens, the children enjoyed a range of interactive experiences that brought the farm to life. This was our 4th Session for 2024. We have one more FREE session next week to end off a very successful, engaging early literacy program.
If you would like to join us please email [email protected] as we have a couple of vacant spots left for our last session!
We will be sending out feedback forms to all participants to see what interest we have in running Read, Create and Play sessions in 2025!
