What is Computer Gym?
Computer Gym teachers provide weekly computer-based lessons to pre-school children. The lessons are delivered mainly at childcare centres, pre-schools and kindergartens but can be provided at any location where children and parents gather, including homes.

Children love using computers. The role of your Computer Gym teacher is to utilise this enthusiasm for computers, motivating your child to develop their early academic and social skills as they enhance their learning technology skills.
This term’s lessons have a special focus on school / preschool readiness. We will be using a range of great software to assist in preparing children for their move to school or pre-school.
This term we will be using some fantastic software to explore early childhood maths topics. We’ll make pictures and tessellations, as well as look at concepts such as ‘same & different’, sorting and sizes. Positional and directional words will also be a feature.
There will also be lots of quick auditory and visual discrimination games to keep us all on our toes.
This term children will go exploring during their Computer Gym lessons, while continuing to build their skills and confidence on the computer. Activities will enhance early literacy and numeracy skills as well as an awareness of various animals and their environments. We'll even go jetting around the world to look at various cultures and attractions.
We're delighted to welcome many new children to Computer Gym this year. We also have lots of last year's children back with us, looking forward to more fun and learning.
For new children, our programme this term focuses on early computer skills such as mouse control and movement, confidence and social skills on the computer. All children will also do activities with an emphasis on self and relationships as well as early literacy and numeracy topics.
