Running, jumping, climbing, skipping, hopping, throwing, and balancing come naturally to young children, but kids need plenty of opportunities to practice them. These large motor activities are an important part of your child’s day here. With daily large-motor experiences, children practice fundamental movement skills that help them develop good self-esteem and physical competence.
A developmentally appropriate movement curriculum facilitates basic movement skill and physical fitness, such as those named above. Children get the chance to run, jump, skip, walk on balance beams, and throw and kick balls. As with all skills, motor skills must be practiced to improve.
You might see us moving like snakes, cats, bears, dinosaurs, or frogs. Music gets us moving–we sometimes jog to release tension and we occasionally jump simply for the joy of it.
We want children to be physically fit because it’s important to their health. But we also know they learn better when they are healthy and in good physical condition.
