Exercise Certificate

The Miffy Swimming Certificate

It’s actually the most natural thing in the world for your child to pass their swimming certificate. Many children therefore start swimming lessons at a young age, even though they aren’t quite ready for them yet. Obtaining a movement certificate, on the other hand, isn’t quite so commonplace, but it is absolutely vital for a child’s motor and social development.

That is why fellow movement scientists and experienced teachers, with expertise in the motor and social development of young children, have developed the Miffy Movement Programme. The Miffy Movement Programme consists of Diploma 1 and Diploma 2, in which motor, mental and social skills are developed in a playful way.

The certificate

After completing our series of lessons, the children are rewarded with the genuine Miffy Exercise Diploma, which details what they have practised. They also receive a lovely Miffy gift.

Children generally start with Miffy Exercise Diploma 1 and can then progress to Exercise Diploma 2. It is not necessary to complete Diploma 1 first. Pre-schoolers may, if appropriate, start with Diploma 2. The trainers can advise you on this and determine which level is suitable for your child.

• Watching

  During our lessons, we’d prefer it if parents only came to watch for the last 10 minutes. We know from experience that children get distracted easily when there are lots of people in the hall. Maat S structures its lessons in such a way as to encourage self-directed learning. By exploring and carrying out the activities themselves, the children will become more independent and experience success, which boosts their self-confidence. In addition, playing with other children is encouraged. More about our vision.

  We believe it is important for you, as a parent, to see what we do during our lessons, which is why we schedule a few observation sessions per course, during which you are welcome to watch the entire lesson. This also allows you to see your child’s progress.
