These are the precious years of learning that lay the foundation for the future.

Years of research into child development and early learning show that educational readiness depends on interrelated developmental domains including:

• Motor Development
• Physical well-being
• Social Development
• Language Development
• Basic Knowledge & Skills

Current research has shown that movement and learning are intimately connected, and that complex movement helps prepare, organize and develop the brain for what we term “higher learning”.  In addition to the ‘process of learning complex movement, it has also been shown to be connected to the development of the brain’s ‘executive function’ which has been shown to be associated with academic success. Integrative movement has been shown to affect the following:

• Focus/Attention.
• Language
• Concentration
• Reading
• Problem Solving
• Writing
• Speech
• Behavior
• AbstractThought
• Math

The goal of our program is to focus on your child’s development, growth, and learning; and, to provide the greatest opportunity for success in later school years. We believe parents/families are the first and most prominent teachers in the children’s lives; therefore, as parents/families you will be asked to participate in the development of goals (inside and outside the classroom) for your child.
