At Super Kids children are led to achieve their full potential in each of the 7 Australian National Key Learning Areas (KLA’s) of:

• English
• Health & Physical Education
• Maths
• Arts
• Science
• Studies of Society & the Environement (SOSE) and
• Technology

Within these 7 KLA’s, children develop basic life skills and competencies in:

• Thinking
• Communicating
• Sense of self and others
• Health and physical understanding
• Social living and learning
• Cultural understanding
• Understanding and environment

At Super Kids Kemang we run parallel programs commencing in January and July and coinciding with both the Southern (Australian/New Zealand) and Northern (European/Indonesian/North American) academic years. Unless parents specifically request that their children be held back by 6 months, children enrolling in Super Kids are placed in the following year level groups according to their age at the commencement of the current semester:

* Infants (6 months – 1.5 years old)
* Toddlers with Mums/ ‘TwM’ (1.5 years old – 2 years old)
* Toddlers (2 – 3 years old)
* Jumpers (3 – 4 years old)
* Explorers (4 – 5 years old)

Within our normal daily/weekly program we feature the following special activities:

Daily Brain Gym
Brain Gym is a series of quick, enjoyable and energizing activities which allow children to ‘loosen up’ and prepare for specific thinking and coordination tasks.

THRASS (Teaching Handwriting Reading and Spelling Skills)
THRASS teaches children from age 3 about the letters, speech sounds and spelling choices used in modern English. These ‘building blocks’ (phonemes and graphemes) are introduced and reinforced through the inter-related skills of handwriting, reading and spelling.

Poems, Stories, Speech and Language
Reading with a first language teacher promotes the development of clearer and more authentic speech and pronunciation. Story time is valuable for children of any age. It is a time when imagination runs wild. Vocabulary is stimulated and children acquire a sense of metre and rhyme and develop more rhythmic speech patterns.

Gymnastics, Games, Outdoor activities
Outdoor free-play develops bodily awareness, coordination, balance, teamwork and social skills.

Ball Skills
For children of 3 years and over, individual ball skills and (later) team games help to develop overall fitness, teamwork, cooperation and gross motor skills.

Art and Textural Exploration
Tactile play and artwork help to develop fine motor (writing and manipulation) skills and stimulate creativity and imagination.

Music and Songs
Singing, marching and queuing all help to develop audio awareness, rhythm, timing and language as well as social skills.

Values Education

For children of 3 and above, stories and discussions about values such as cooperation, kindness and respect form a large part of our reading program. ‘Awareness of self and others’ is a recurring theme in our reading, play acting and group activities. As part of our discussion, we inevitably include the theme of inclusion of children with differences of culture, ability or physical appearance, all of which makes the process of mainstreaming children with differences very much easier and more natural.

Project Work
Our 4 year olds are encouraged to plan and implement projects involving technology, science and number work in order to develop their understanding of logical processes (cause and effect), number, sets (like and unlike) and ecology.

Water Safety and Swimming
Older children (with parental permission) are encouraged to take part in water safety/survival training as part of our normal weekly program and swimming classes are available as an optional after school activity in our Extra Programs
