Call us old-fashioned, but we believe that books should always have a place in this rapidly changing world of technology.

 

Busy Bookworms is a weekly class for 2-to-5 year old children held on Monday and Wednesday mornings in South East Melbourne. In each unique session, we use beautiful picture storybooks as a springboard for fun activities such as art and craft, music and movement, science investigations, educational games, counting and much more.

Over 35 carefully crafted lesson plans allow us to explore learning-through-play in a much more involved manner than typical kinder and preschool programs. Our small class sizes and diverse curriculum ensures that the skills we teach compliment and build upon each other, thus allowing children to easily absorb the concepts and consolidate their learning.

The skills we develop are not only important in preparation for school, but are fantastic life skills which will enhance your children’s love of books. 10+ years experience means that Busy Bookworms takes your children beyond the bedtime story to discover the wonderful ways in which books entertain, teach, challenge and inspire us.

When you help a child develop a passion for reading, you're opening a door to a whole new world of imagination, storytelling, creativity and learning. That's why we believe in creating happy booklovers.

OUR CLASSES

Our mission is to encourage a love of reading in children. We make this happen by sparking kids' imaginations – they're having fun with books before they even realise that they're learning! The Busy Bookworms Curriculum spans four terms and over 35 individual lessons. Some classes are topic-based while others are more conceptual.

Thoughts, musings and research behind why it's so important to craft a love for books amongst children. It's no exaggeration to say that we're always thinking of new ways to nurture kids' love for books and reading and hardly an hour goes by without us plotting new ways to get them away from those screens and into a beautiful book!
