WHAT IS MOVEMENT EDUCATION?

Experts agree that movement education is just as important as reading, writing, and arithmetic. Movement education comes from developing a wide variety of fundamental movement skills such as hopping, skipping, throwing, catching, and jumping.

The ABCs of movement: Agility, Balance, Coordination and Speed are essential to your child’s development.

Integrating physical activity in children’s lives is essential for creating a foundation of movement and activity that they will carry with them throughout the rest of their lives.
