7xSmarter

7xSmarter is a playroom that also hosts playgroups and other sessions for kids of varied ages. I took my toddler along for Kindermusik with Audrey.
The playroom is well-​stocked with plenty of interesting toys to keep active kids entertained while waiting for class to start, and of course for the all important ‘mummy chit chat’ time afterwards.
My daughter loves the class. No one expects the toddlers to sit still and pay absolute attention. They are encouraged to do their own thing and dip in and out of the ‘lesson’ — and I use that term very loosely, no fear of Tiger Mums here.
The idea is to use song, dance, instruments and mothers participation to help build toddler’s confidence, self-​control and language skills. The all-​important repetition means the kids pick up the movements to the action songs after a few sessions, and look very proud of themselves!
It’s also a great way to introduce musical instruments (aka noise making machines) in a safe (read not at home) place where — most importantly — we can leave them behind!
