The programme gives the child opportunity to learn the basics of enjoying and appreciating music, free movement, dance and rhythmic movement, acting and language, art, singing, puppetry and handwork.

This programme is conducted on Saturdays from 9.00 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. at Battramulla Lion’s Club Activity Centre situated in Jayanthipura main road.
