Motor Development

2 Years and older

              Motor Class is challenging children with entertaining activities and developmental movement games of perception.  Motor development relates to self-esteem and one’s feelings about himself and his/her skills.  A high level of self-esteem for our students is a top priority!  It is a well know fact that children learn and remember most when they are actively and physically involved in a learning situation.  What this means is that we often learn best by DOING.

Most perceptual motor games follow a rather precise sequence.  Children need practice following this prescribed sequence and trying out all of the steps, not just the ones that they might choose.  Perceptual motor game time is the time when children learn some specific skills in prescribed ways.  At the same time there are opportunities for imagination and creative expressions.
