Did you know?

  • There is a direct connection between the large body movements involved in climbing, running, walking, swimming and ball play, and the small movements necessary for reading and writing activities.
  • Babies and young children learn from the inside out. Their core muscle strength is vital to healthy overall development and for laying strong foundations for higher order learning.
  • Children need to repeat movements thousands of times in many different ways to master them and gain confidence.
  • When a child is moving he or she is not just working his or her body but the eye muscles too. The co-ordination between the eyes and hands and eyes and feet is integral to overall development.
