Early childhood development Babies & Toddlers.
At ExitLeft, we give children and teens outstanding performing arts training in a way that is so much fun they don’t even realise how much they are learning. We develop core skills, how to sing, act, dance and play. Because students start with the basics of good technique and an understanding of style, we mix in creativity, teamwork and great communication skills.
The end result is amazing performers that stand out from the crowd!At ExitLeft, we give children and teens outstanding performing arts training in a way that is so much fun they don’t even realise how much they are learning.

Eyes light up as they go on a bear hunt, giggles escape as they fly around the room and laughter bursts out at the silly animals at old MacDonalds farm!
Our Toddler Tunes program sees your child’s communication develop, social skills being built, and confidence increased in a fun relaxed environment.
Toddler Tunes is play-based music classes for Parents and little ones 0-4 years of age. From birth to two years babies will observe and listen. Then as their physical and vocal skills develop you can see them start to join in, copying the teacher and their parents with actions and sounds.
From three to four years toddlers develop an understanding of the stories and songs and start to assert their individuality. Their language develops through familiar songs and stories and they love singing, dancing and showing off!

WHAT ARE CLASSES LIKE
“We joined toddler tunes a year ago, when Eleanor was 3 and Joe 3 months. It took about 3 sessions for her to settle in and since then it has been the highlight of our week. Joe from very early on knew that was the morning of excitement, and wouldn’t sleep from 6am until the end of the class, a big stretch for a 3 month old. He has started ‘singing’ from very early on. Now I bring him to bed at night and usually hear him singing ‘we’re going up’ or ‘rolling rolling rolling just like this’. Eleanor’s speech and timbre has certainly been positively affected by toddler tunes. For me the morning is great as it gives us something to look forward to as a full morning outing with the bus trip there and coffee after with other parents.” – Anna, Parent
MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN EARLY CHILDHOOD
The Toddler Tunes music program was originally conceived as a program to engage with Aboriginal mothers and their pre-school children.
Following on from the initial success, Exitleft Principal Ian Williams has developed a unique program that uses traditional songs, nursery rhymes and fairytales that appeal to children’s sense of adventure while ensuring parents find familiar songs they are comfortable to join in with.
Over the past seven years, thousands of families have been touched by the classes with parents and educators seeing the benefits of music on their development as children head to school for the first time.
