How CocoRio helps your child discover their creative strengths

How do I find out what my child is going to excel at, especially from a young age?

This is a question we hear a lot from parents. And the good news is, we’re here to guide, facilitate and inspire them on their creative learning journey, so that they can develop their talents and flairs in a nurturing environment. 

Here at CocoRio, we’re proud to work a little differently to other childcare systems, leading with a bespoke, child-centred approach that helps tots and teens discover their uniqueness by opening their eyes to the world of creative learning.

Why learn creatively? It helps your child boost their confidence, develop cognitive skills and think critically. Not to mention the joy it brings because, well, it’s lots of fun! 

Interestingly, research shows that young people who have had an arts-rich education are more likely to excel at school, be more employable and become more active citizens.

Plus, the Royal Shakespeare Company even found that young students viewed creative subjects as ones they were given more agency with, allowing them to make mistakes and try new ideas.

So when it comes to finding their creative flairs, here’s how we do it at CocoRio: 

1.We teach creativity with a child-centred approach

When it comes to little learners, we truly believe that the world is their oyster. Here at CocoRio, we nurture and teach creatively with a child-centred approach, getting to know your child at every step of the process - yes, even before their creative session begins. Our creative learning is personalised to your child’s interests and aims to empower them, so we chat with parents before their first session about what their child loves to do and what they’d love to try, from practising some dance moves with a West End performer to learning to cook a nutritious meal with a sous chef. Our aim? To help children experience the world through a creative lens and discover their natural abilities that make them the future leaders of tomorrow. 

2. We match your child to a creative role model

We represent over 500 creative nannies and mentors, who are also professional musicians, dancers, artists, actors and more, ready to educate, inspire and nurture your children’s skills through creative learning. And as role models come in all different forms, you’ll love that their nanny is guiding them on a meaningful, creative journey that helps to shape them and spark their creativity. Like the sound of a professional puppeteer helping your child practice their French by creating a show? Or a yoga instructor teaching them how to do a tree pose while mindfully breathing? Our fully-vetted, creative nannies are ready to inspire your little ones, one session at a time. 

3. We believe in creative variety

Your child can only really find what they love to do if they try everything first. That’s right, we believe in helping children experience as much creativity as possible, which is why we tailor each session to their requirements. We love to create a schedule that’s personalised to them, which could look like making a paper mache globe at 9am, followed by learning how to sing a French nursery rhyme at 10am. An afternoon with a CocoRio nanny could entail going on a nature walk while playing I Spy and by the evening, an immersive storytelling session with puppets might be on the cards. 

4. We give children a choice - and it matters! 

We empower children so that they have a choice when it comes to their creative activities. Why does choice matter? Giving children options helps them to develop confidence, self-worth and feelings of being in control, which has a positive impact on behaviour and willingness to learn. There are lots of ways we give children a choice during our creative sessions, from choosing between activities and picking out story books to deciding on fun props and what paint colours to use for their masterpiece.
