Testimonial: Movement Education
PARENT & CHILD uses movement challenges to develop coordination, body awareness, and word recognition. This course is a fun way of furthering a parent/child relationship while developing balance, locomotion, strength, and flexibility. Through the introduction of simple directions, rules, and routines, the child develops listening skills, and a sense of organization. We require one adult per child enrolled in this class. Children must be walking.
Age 14-36 months, Course 200
(If younger, must be able to walk)
MOVEMENT EXPLORATION is for the child who demonstrates a definite independence from the parent, has an adequate attention span, and the ability to follow simple directions. Children learn to accomplish rolling, pre-cartwheels, simple vaults, hopping, jumping, landing, and locomotion in different directions. Swinging, balancing, and weight transfer on and off our equipment are additional themes covered in the curriculum. Gym slippers required.
Age 3, Course 202
MOVEMENT EDUCATION is an age appropriate program for 4-5 year olds, whose curiosity provides the motivation for learning.
