Kindergym classes cater for ALL children, those who shy away from physical activity, and those who are naturally sporty. Remember it is human nature not to get involved in something if you find it difficult. Kindergym will help your child to gain confidence in their body movements, and enjoy all forms of physical activities more!
“Efficient motor control and co-ordination form the base of all intellectual activities of the human being.” (Young, 1993)
Activities through ‘play’ improve and develop gross motor skills and spatial development. The Kindergym enrichment programme has been developed by a gymnastics coach, a qualified teacher, and a Pilates instructor in consultation with an occupational therapist
