Gross Motor

You will see your kiddos transform as they gain confidence to move their body, take risks, and train their executive functioning skills.

So many skills kiddos develop are based through their core. This includes everything from holding their head up or rolling over as infants, to walking or learning to get dressed as toddlers, to big body movements and coordination (sports!) or controlled movements like handwriting as big kids. It is critically important to build core strength in order to develop these skills...and the best way to do it? GROSS MOTOR PLAY!

The core strength developed through gross motor play is directly related to a child's posture and ability to move! This helps children become more keenly aware of where their body is in space. They can then navigate the furniture in a room, walk up and down stairs, and more easily get on and off escalators and elevators. Not only do gross motor toys enable more dexterous movement, they also help children improve the coordination between their eyes and large muscles.
