TBM is happy to have Suzie Sunshine work with all our children to develop a love of music through songs and instruments.

Music and Movement
TBM encourages children to take body breaks as needed, at anytime during the day by making yoga mats and cards available to children in every room.
Our educators will host "formal" group yoga sessions with the children at various times to teach the children poses and breathing exercises to practice on their own. Yoga is a great form of stretching and relaxing for children that can be done quietly any time of day.

"My son loves the pre-casa program here! The teachers are excellent, the program is stimulating and rewarding, and the classrooms are beautifully organised. He does a lot of activities and puzzles during the day, and they always put on fun and interactive group activities like painting, singing & dancing, and reading. They also worked their magic and taught a toddler who had never slept in a crib, or fallen asleep by himself, to fall asleep by himself on his own cot - all within a week or so. Highly recommend this school!"
