Why School Holiday Programs Like Brick Buddies Are So Valuable for Kids
School holidays are meant to be fun, but they can also feel a little tricky for families. Routines shift, kids can become restless, and parents are left wondering how to keep them engaged in positive, meaningful ways.
That’s exactly where programs like Brick Buddies come in! Our school holiday workshop isn’t just about filling time - it’s about giving your child the chance to learn, connect, and thrive while having a great time.
What Makes Holiday Programs So Important?
Here’s why we think school holiday programs are more than just “something to do”:
Boosting Fine Motor Skills
Holiday activities are carefully chosen to help children build strength and coordination in their hands and fingers. This improves skills like handwriting, eating independently, and managing zippers or buttons. It’s learning that looks like play!
Practicing Turn-Taking & Sharing
Programs create natural opportunities for children to practice waiting their turn, sharing with others, and working together on group activities. These experiences help friendships grow and make social interactions smoother back at school.
Growing Social Confidence & Communication
For many kids, school holidays can mean fewer chances to socialise. Workshops give them a safe, supportive environment to practice communication, meet new people, and try out new skills - all while having fun.
Keeping Routines Consistent
Without structure, the holiday break can sometimes feel a little overwhelming. Programs provide purpose and routine, making it easier for children to transition back to school confidently.
Creating Happy Memories
At the heart of it all, children simply love being part of something special. They go home proud of what they’ve achieved, excited to share their stories, and looking forward to the next time.
Why Choose Brick Buddies?
At CentreSteps, we’ve designed Brick Buddies with NDIS participants in mind. Every activity has a therapeutic purpose while still being fun, engaging, and child-friendly.
