For all of you with young kids… and heck, even teenagers, being stuck inside all day with them can be the worst! The need for constant stimulation can be exhausting. It’s important to try to keep a structured day as much as possible but planning activity after activity can be a lot of work for mum and dad. Some local businesses have been able to change their format and deliver online activities and entertainment right in your own home.
Education
Kumon is traditionally a home-based, pencil and paper programme – ideal for extended periods at home! At Lane Cove, we are offering students the ability to study by correspondence, with online or phone support to help you keep learning while social distancing or in isolation.
Active Kids
Book online like any normal class. Pick a day and time and once that class time comes the video drops in. You can watch it over and over for up to 2 weeks. $13 per online class plus access to our child development handouts
