Large Motor Development

Running, jumping, climbing, skipping, hopping, throwing, and balancing come natural to young children, but kids need plenty of opportunities to practice them!  These large motor activities are an important part of your child's day here.  With daily large-motor experiences, children practice fundamental movement skills that help them develop good self- esteem and physical competence.

Noah mastered standing up on the swing, which may look easy but it's actually physically challenging.

This activity takes a lot of upper and lower body strength, as well as coordination of body movement.

Justin and Lily saw Noah and decided to try standing up on the swing and move their body on the swing back and forth.  Both Justin and Lily had success, they were so pleased with themselves!

Noah thanks for modeling swinging on the swings standing up!  We appreciate it!
