Gross motor movement is very important in early childhood. Gross motor skills are the skills that require whole body to move and use large muscle groups. It can include walking, running, sitting up right and hand eye coordination. Getting preschoolers moving isn't a issue. They naturally love to move but trying to get them to fine tune these skills is the focus. We also try to instill a love for movement by exploring different options so they can carry these skills into adulthood.
This week at The Academy of Gateway we had a stilt walker come share his talent with the preschoolers.
Exploring hopping in the classroom!
Have fun and get your preschooler moving!
