Term time classes
Give your child the best possible start in life.
At TARKA, we go beyond simply having ‘fun’. Our highly developmental and engaging exercise-based classes are proven to develop your child’s physical coordination, strength, and endurance, while also building courage, teamwork, social skills, and self-confidence.
Our classes, designed for children aged 18 months to 7 years, run Monday-Saturday across the Autumn, Spring, and Summer terms in Notting Hill and Fulham.
Recruits
Join us for our Recruits classes: a jam-packed, fun-filled 45 minutes where your child will be exercising both their muscles and mind!
The games are specifically designed to challenge and develop this age group and are part of an active learning approach to focus on their physical and emotional skills, including fine and gross motor skills, hand eye coordination, problem solving, team-work and communication.
The children are introduced to new vocabulary, colour names and matching, number recognition and counting. Your child will be supported by our instructors to feel confident and self-assured, and we take the time to celebrate every achievement – no matter how big or small.
Whilst the theme of the class changes each week, the overarching structure itself remains the same. We feel this routine is essential for young children.
The Recruits class is a fantastic opportunity for your child to meet new friends and leave TARKA with a new host of role models.
Troopers
In our Troopers classes, we prioritise learning through movement and exercise, fostering the development of social, physical, and emotional skills at an appropriate level.
Our carefully designed syllabus introduces theme-specific vocabulary as children embark on exciting adventures, from voyaging through space to exploring distant lands and even saving populations from natural phenomena.
During our sessions, children form strong friendships and are encouraged to communicate with others, working in harmony to achieve shared goals.
Our instructors maintain a balance between being hands-on and empowering children to solve problems and complete challenges independently, ensuring each child’s growth and development in a supportive environment.
Saturday Club
Take a moment to breathe a sigh of relief – because we’ve got your Saturday mornings covered with our developmental exercise camps!
Our Saturday camps aren’t just about keeping your children entertained – they’re designed to promote their physical, cognitive, and social development in a fun and engaging way. From the moment your child steps through the door, they’ll be greeted with a dynamic and stimulating environment that’s sure to spark their curiosity and creativity.
Imagine themed exercise games that not only get your child moving but also challenge their coordination and motor skills. Picture team-based challenges that encourage collaboration and problem-solving, helping your child build important social and emotional skills. And with a wide range of fun-filled activities, your child will have endless opportunities to explore, learn, and grow.
