Welcome to RINKA At RINKA, we help children aged 3 to 10 feel good, enjoy movement and build healthy habits for life. Our unique curriculum is built around three key pillars: STRONG HEART Fun, high-energy games and activities that get children moving, raise their heart rate and build cardiovascular fitness. STRONG BODY Activities that develop strength, balance, coordination and physical skills, helping children become more confident movers. STRONG MIND Learning and experiences that support confidence, resilience, wellbeing and a positive relationship with movement. RINKA is a positive, encouraging and non-competitive environment. We celebrate effort and participation and want every child to feel successful, included and excited to come back. Classes are packed with movement, games, laughter and opportunities to make friends, build confidence and burn off energy. What your child needs Please send your child in comfortable clothes and runners suitable for exercise, with a labelled bottle of water. Only children enter the teaching space. We ask parents to drop off and leave promptly so that we can get the session underway. Is RINKA suitable for my child? Before booking, please consider whether your child: • Has completed at least one term in preschool • Is fully toilet trained • Is comfortable taking instruction and following guidelines • Is happy to attend without a parent • Is comfortable mixing with children and instructors they may not know If you have answered yes to all of the above, your child should be comfortable in the RINKA environment. If your child has additional needs, please let us know in advance so we can discuss how best to support them. Behaviour and safety To keep RINKA safe and enjoyable for everyone, children must be able to participate appropriately in a group environment. Parents may be contacted if a child repeatedly: • Displays defiant or disruptive behavior • Kicks, spits, bites or behaves aggressively • Runs away or attempts to leave the group • Does not engage with the group or follow instructor directions Our priority is always the safety and wellbeing of all children and our instructors. Important booking information Classes and camps are subject to minimum numbers. Venues or times may occasionally need to change, and any changes will be communicated to the email address used when booking. In the unlikely event that a class needs to be rescheduled, the replacement class will normally be added to the end of the term.
