Substantially Improved Focus
The simple process of play induces your child to become engrossed in tasks, planning and the activity at hand. You will be participating in exercises that will improve focus and concentration building on the connection between mind and body. This type of attention benefits your children in every challenge they'll encounter during life. ADDAM activities engage the child’s mind to stay focused and attentive.
Enhanced Creativity and Imagination
Children see and understand the world much differently than adults. As there are no limits or restrictions. Our creative activities offer unlimited possibilities for children to express their creativity and imagination. Children's imagination will grow through their natural desire to discover and create building on different situations involving physical movements, sounds, and colours and shapes.
Effective Problem Solving Skills
Children begin problem solving at a very young age. Keeping mentally active and interpreting sensory information while playing expands children's ability to reason and problem-solve. Our activities encourage your child to more accurately combine their interpretation with prior knowledge, thereby discovering, learning and executing strategies necessary to produce desired outcomes.
Strong Connection With Others
Would you like to see your child being themselves with others? Clinical studies have shown that activities between parent/carer and child support the neurodevelopment of the child. Our workshops put this theory into practice with activities to engage both you and your child to develop your child’s confidence and engagement.
Greater knowledge about the Diverse World Around Us
We introduce art, music, drama and dance from different parts of the world. Learning about different countries helps children perform better academically, but also helps them be more apt to communicate better with people in general
The advantages are well and good but how do we actually get children interested, happy and curious coming back for more? Through music, art, dance and drama activities which are proven to gain your child’s interest, involvement and participation!

Ever wondered what it would be like to have a tea-party on the moon?
As children, we were creative every moment, what has changed?
What can we learn from children?
Dimensions of Creativity
Dance
Dance and movement allow your deepest expression to emerge. Every man, woman and child deserves a chance to connect to their true dancer. Our intention is to facilitate and guide you through the exploration of mind, body, creative movement, musicality and self expression.
Drama
Ever wondered what it would be like to have a tea party on the moon? Drama brings imagination to life. Drama is an integral aspect of the creative process. We’ll be exploring the depths of what it would be like to be completely in touch with your emotions. Give your child a chance to express themselves with total freedom. Exploring different characters, you’ll have the opportunity to role play and see things from your child’s perspective. We’ll show you how to embrace your stage fright in a fun and supportive environment.
Art
Art is more than putting paint to paper or shaping clay into a sculpture. It is a way to share with the world what we feel on the inside. On this creative journey you will learn to express yourself when words alone aren’t enough. Colours, sensations and movement will be used to connect with your child. Creating on this level will open up doors to the realm of imagination.
Music
Music is the expression of the soul. Every emotion that we feel colours the sounds that arises from within us. The key is to learn how to connect our deepest emotions to the music we want to produce. On this journey your child will develop the courage to express their thoughts and feelings using their voices, and by doing so share themselves for all to enjoy.
