Flex Program
Small Baller’s Flex Program enables all kids at all levels of development, within the age brackets, to participate, thereby benefiting by increased independence, improved social skills and not to mention the life long memories.
What is Flex?
Flex programs are where we ensure your child gains as much from the program as any child when they have greater challenges than others. The Flex program is about equipping each class to empower your child to be as participative as possible while garnering the benefits of physicality of the class as well as the lesson it is teaching behind the exercises. Teamwork, understanding others with positive outcome.
If you’re ready for more info, we invite you to come visit us and observe.
Individualized care
Our Flex program includes:
- Independent, teacher-directed, and small-group activities that encourage investigation, exploration, and discovery through ball sports
- Learning approaches that adapts to each child and incorporate their strengths and interests into the exercises
- Additional team members to support your child and family throughout the sessions
- Confidence-building opportunities to solve problems and make decisions
- Safety, cleanliness and clean-up practices creating good habits when it comes to play
Every child is part of this!
Regardless of a child being in the Flex program or not, each one is unique and development is almost always at a different level.
To benefit your child we take all aspects of the children’s development into consideration for exercises and build them out each week based on this. Individually and as a group, we work to ensure each week the kids take something home that they feel has reinforced confidence through their learning at Small Ballers.
A key ingredient to a successful session is repitition in the sense of starting practises and finishing practises. Kids help setup and help clean up at the end. This triggers kids to remember where things are and where they go while keeping areas of play picked up.
