Lion hearts learning email format

Lion Hearts Learning is a South Australian registered children’s charity that provides a free playgroup/pre-school service to children impacted by Cancer, whether it be their own, a sibling’s, or a parent’s. Children undergoing oncological treatment have severely compromised immune systems and must be kept quite isolated. As most other “main stream” services available to oncology children are aimed at older age brackets, we are filling a gap that is currently not serviced but is very important. Lion Hearts Learning (LHL) ensures the environment is very clean/hygienic with all toys and resources being disinfected after each session and the venue fully cleaned before and after. No one can attend if they are sick. At the same time as being hygienic to the level that our children need, we provide social, emotional and educational (preparing for school) type learning that these children are not able to access dues to their circumstances. LHL gives parents an opportunity for respite, as they can leave children with our qualified staff. Children have the opportunity to make friends, be independant, make decisions and learn, which helps them to build confidence and self esteem, feel fulfilled, proud, happy and whole. Services we are currently provide are: Lion Hearts Learning (Face to Face): Our face to face sessions operate on Monday and Friday mornings from 9:30am to 12:30pm at our Central and Southern Branches. We also offer online sessions and Craft and Activity Packs for those children who are unable to attend face to face sessions due to being unwell, are in hospital or live too far away. We incorporate a range of activities such as jolly phonics, craft, storytelling, farm education, body movement, nutrition, socialisation, show and tell and more.   For more information contact email; lionheartslearning@gmail.com
