Movement Preschool Curriculum
Physical Skills
In Movement Preschool, children will 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. Movement Preschool 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
Movement Preschool classes are a wonderful way for little ones to learn kindness and social skills. Our trained instructors kindly demonstrate how to take turns, share, make eye contact, apologize, and listen to instructions. Movement Preschool 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 Movement Preschool activities, they develop the foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits. Every week in Movement Preschool 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.
