Fittle Kids Program

SPORTING EDGE - FITTLE KIDS Program is an essential physical education module aiming at “Education Through Movement”. It is adopted as a lens to explore a holistic approach toward children’s health and well-being with clear objectives of age appropriateness, incremental, scalable developments enabling lifelong well-being. The module also provides students with an introductory awareness about the idea of 'Team Play' where children are introduced to the idea of cooperating with their peers, coherence of instructions and discipline. Contextually, this program creates a strong emphasis on skill development, activity promotion and physical fitness behaviours.

The uniqueness of the program lies in its curriculum where children in their early years are taken through developmental milestones as below

Gross Motor Skills

These involve larger movements of the body and limbs. Activities include walking, running, jumping, hopping, galloping, sliding, marching, and more. These skills are crucial for physical development and coordination.

Fine Motor Skills

These refer to smaller, more precise movements, usually involving the hands and fingers. Tasks include bending, stretching, flexing, extending, lifting, raising, twisting, rotating, swinging, wiggling, swaying, and other intricate motions. Fine motor skills are essential for tasks like writing, using utensils, and manipulating small objects.

Problem-Solving Abilities: Skills to identify issues, analyze situations, and devise effective solutions.
Memory Skills: Capacity to retain and recall information.
Imitation and Classification Skills: Ability to mimic actions or categorize objects based on shared characteristics.

Movement and Neuro-Muscular Coordination

These skills involve the integration of movement and muscle control:

Resistance: The ability to push against force or gravity.
Dynamic Stability: Maintaining balance and control during movement.
Balance: Equilibrium and stability while stationary or moving.
Core Strength: Strength and stability of the muscles in the abdomen, pelvis, and lower back.
Hand-eye Coordination: Ability to coordinate vision with hand movements.

VEY has partnered with SaPa (Subramaniam Academy of Performing Arts) to offer an exceptional music education program that ignites creativity, fosters self-expression, and enhances cognitive skills.

At VEY, we foster a love for music through playful exploration of sounds, rhythms, and melodies. Our program nurtures creative expression, allowing children to bring their imaginative ideas to life through music.

Certified SaPa Teachers

SaPa teachers undergo rigorous training and certification. SaPa works in close association with the Norwegian Academy of Music to ensure they meet the highest standards of musical education. Their training equips them with the skills to teach music in a way that is engaging, fun, and rooted in tradition.

Comprehensive Learning Materials

Each child receives an engaging textbook with in-house developed content, carefully designed to meet specific learning outcomes and objectives for young children. These materials support structured learning and help track each child's musical journey.

Year-End Assessments

At the end of each academic year, our young musicians participate in a joyful assessment of their progress. Upon completion, each child receives a special certificate acknowledging their musical achievements, boosting confidence and motivation to continue their musical adventure.

We use engaging musical activities to enhance memory, concentration, and cognitive skills. Through group performances and collaborations, children develop essential social skills, teamwork, and the discipline of regular practice, laying a foundation for lifelong learning and appreciation of music.
