Dress Code for Movement Education Classes
PLAY GYM is where our youngest students playfully learn to move over, under, through and around. The main focus of this course is to increase the child’s body awareness and a sense of his/her surroundings. This is a great way for the parent to learn to be a facilitator of his/her child’s movement discoveries. We require one adult per child enrolled in this class. (45 min.)
