Testimonials
Frankie from Bubs n Beats has delivered a wonderful music and movement program at our Kindy, engaging the children with enthusiasm and understanding of their individual needs. She provided us with lesson plans that outlined the concepts, terminology, props required, curriculum links and songs list, which we can then use for further sessions ourselves. Frankie was happy to align her lesson with our children’s current interests or learning areas when notified prior to the day of the visit and we would be very happy to engage her again in the future.

Educator, Charmichael Collage, Morayfield
"I don't know who is having more fun, me or the kids?!"
- Educator at West Moreton C and K
"The kids responded so well to Frankie and we learnt a lot. We'll definitely be using her dancing ideas in our programming"
- Richard, Lead Educator, Tarangba C and K
"We've been using the games and ideas learnt throughout each week. There are so many easy and simple things to do to enhance the classroom environment that I just wouldn't have thought of alone. The learning through observation rather than 'death by powerpoint' is so much more engaging and achievable. You are learning alongside the kids, so if I forget, the kids help me remember. Such a great model of Professional Development"
Maria, Lead Educator, Tiny Tots Kingston
"It was so lovely to see the Dad's engaged in play like that with their children. Giving them a clear idea of what to do really helped bring the fun. You can see the feeling of connection among the group after that session"
