Let's get active!

Happy Staff • October 17, 2019
At school, we love fun activities like stretching, kicking soccer balls, running, hula-hooping and dancing.

When we're indoors, we also enjoy drawing, tracing, coloring, cutting and gluing.

“So, why are these activities so important? How do they help my child grow?”

During the school day, a mix of mental and physical activities gives your child lots of opportunities to use new skills, make friends and build confidence.
Physical activities in preschool class
Gross Motor Skills activities (using the whole body) help to build balance, coordination and general fitness. At school we have park time every day plus PE class once a week (for older classes) - everyone gets lots of chances to run, play and grow together!

Fine Motor Skills activities (using the hands) focus on building independence and give everyone lots of opportunities to be creative. At school we learn how to:
  • Take care of ourselves (brushing our teeth, eating lunch, putting on clothing and shoes).
  • Pack / unpack our bags.
  • Use pencils, scissors, paintbrushes and other tools to make our own crafts and artwork.
