Come jump, jiggle, and jive as we work on our balance, coordination, and strength. In this fun- filled movement class, we will engage in gross motor games and activities through songs and movement. This class will target both familiar and new skills with plenty of guidance and support to achieve success in all the games and activities. Gross motor skills are essential for a child’s development. These skills involve using large muscles in the body and help children learn how to coordinate and control their body movements. Gross motor skills help a child gain strength and confidence in his/her body. It also helps them get exercise and physical activity, which is important for a healthy lifestyle. Gross motor development is critical to balance, coordination, and connection to other body functions and impacts fine motor skills, play skills, and learning. Let us move and groove as we sharpen our gross motor skills!

Who’s ready for sensory fun? Sensory play encourages learning through exploration, problem solving, creativity, and curiosity! It helps build nerve connections while stimulating multiple senses at the same time. Building nerve connections in the brain’s pathways helps to lay a solid foundation for more complex learning tasks. Sensory play also aids in language development, while the physical act of scooping, sifting, and mixing strengthens fine and gross motor skills. Add in elements to sensory bins that encourage imaginary play and opportunities to play with others only enhances kids social and emotional skills. Each session will include a read aloud and a sensory bin to follow the book’s theme while still exploring a variety of other sensory materials. Let’s get our senses activated.
