Physical Skills
In Cahoots KidFit, children participate in a fun variety of activities, learning skills such as:
Academics
Studies show that academic learning is enhanced and retained better when learned through physical or hands-on activity. Cahoots KidFit incorporates an introduction to shapes, colors, counting, and letters into play time, and you will be surprised at how quickly your little one picks up new knowledge, or solidifies knowledge she already has.
Social Skills
Cahoots KidFit classes are a wonderful way for little ones to learn kindness and social skills. Children learn from instructors as they demonstrate how to take turns, share, make eye contact, apologize, and listen to instructions. Cahoots KidFit is a perfect setting for little ones to develop and practice these important skills.
Healthy Habits
A subtle but powerful effect of movement preschool courses is the respect and appreciation children gain for their bodies. As children participate in Cahoots KidFit activities, they develop the foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits. Every week in Cahoots KidFit a healthy theme is taught along with academic and physical skills. These themes of the week include Healthy Eating, Healthy Heart and Lungs, Strong Muscles, Making Friends, Sleeping is Healthy, Healthy Emotions, Parts of the Body, and Fun with Exercise.

I can't live without Cahoots Fitness. It is the best way to start my day! Not to mention, my kids love it too! I don't feel guilty taking time for myself because I know they are learning and growing too! They are learning how to care for their bodies and minds, they are learning how to interact with friends, and most importantly they have fun! "
