Recreational Programs
Dear Parents, appologies for not being able to have a September school holiday program. We have not been able to secure a location. Will keep you all posted. Jonathan
Over the past 30 years, Learning by Doing has been inspiring children in our “hands on” workshops. Our moto: “if you can dream it, you can build it!”.
We have an impeccable safety record with not one serious accident. The usual: splinters, tap on the finger with a hammer, scratches and minor cuts, are a given. We can guarantee these – LOL. Besides this, we are fully insured with a specialty ‘Woodwork for kids’ public liability insurance cover.
We work with small groups of children at any one time, so close attention is afforded to each child. We also encourage ‘cooperation’ between the children. This allows for more experienced children to develop self-confidence through sharing their skills with other children.
School Holiday Programs
We conduct holiday programs four times per year. Children can come along for one or more morning or afternoon workshops and build to their heart’s content. Boys and girls 4 to 14 years of age. We build projects using wood, battery operated motors and lights, solar panels and more. A wide range of projects, of varying challenge are available to the children to choose from.
