Build Confidence

Age appropriate

Our classes start from just 3...yes that's right! Children as young as 3 can call for help, recognise the number 9, ask for an ambulance, give their address and put an adult in the recovery position.

As the children grow, they can learn, retain and do more.

They just need to be taught how.

And to practice - if they only learn it once they could forget, so we ensure that adults know how to support their understanding at home.

You would be impressed with what your child could do!
