Have Darlene teach structured fun movement classes to your children.
Using a wide array of hand-held equipment and large soft equipment, your children will experience a variety of beneficial movement activities.
The activities taught in these classes support the three main gross motor skill areas. Manipulative skills, locomotive movement, and vestibular balance.
It is more important than ever that young children develop a strong movement foundation. Research is repeatedly proving the benefits for the brain by doing so.
Having a strong movement foundation supports self-regulation, and social and emotional skills and develops physical competency and self-confidence.
