Helen O’Grady Drama Academy

Speech and Drama Class for 2 Years Old
We transform an hour of playtime into effortless learning for both parents and children!
 
At Thinking Tots, we believe that with the appropriate resources and facilitation, toddlers can express themselves creatively and confidently. Each lesson will include —
 
1. Drama and Acting: Children get up on their feet and explore various scenarios and experiences. They participate as co-creators and share their ideas to develop and act out a story collaboratively.
 
2. Puppet Play: Every lesson, children meet our Thinking Tots characters in the form of puppets. Through interacting with Gerry, Max, and Hop Hop, children learn to see different perspectives. They learn to celebrate with a puppet and comfort it; they may also learn what it’s like to be on the receiving end of a tantrum.

Many of us struggle with public speaking today! At Helen O’Grady Drama Academy, we recognize the importance of building public speaking skills from a young age. Public speaking is a necessary skill to have — in front of a class, on stage, at work — wherever we go.

We’re dedicated to building confidence and skills in public speaking for children of various backgrounds and prior experience. Our unique public speaking course comprises a structured curriculum to equip students with verbal and non-verbal communication skills necessary to undertake all types of public speaking engagements. Each class invites students to practice speechwriting as they work on their own speeches or monologues.
Our public speaking course carries across 4 terms (10 weekly 1-hour sessions per term). Students are welcome to join us at any point in time!
