Play ballLauren de Wet
Playball has been designed for children between the ages of 2 and 6. Our program is age specific with the children progressing from basic gross motor and ball skills to more structured sports participation. All classes take place in a positive, safe and non - threatening environment. It is important to involve parents and teachers in the learning process which is why we provide regular feedback sessions with the teachers and give parents feedback twice a year in the form of written reports. Lauren De Wet has been coaching Playball at Hout Bay Montessori for the past 15 years. She is passionate about the Playball programme and brings a dynamic energy to all her lessons |
