Motor Growth

Research shows that preschool students need opportunities to play vigorously! As young children get older, their physical skills continue to develop steadily. They can coordinate their large muscles more easily. Suddenly they are able to easily run, jump, climb, skip, hop, throw and kick a ball, and ride a tricycle! They are stronger now. The excitement surrounding this new strength and coordination pushes our preschool students to take new risks, run a little faster, and reach a little further. Simply put, our students thrive on physical activity.

As our students progress from the beginner program, to the nursery program, and up into the primary and pre K program they have increased hand-eye coordination. This enables them to cut with scissors, draw shapes, stack smaller objects, and use zippers and buttons! Overall our preschoolers take pleasure and pride in the use of their bodies, which work much better than when they were toddlers!
