An incredible fitness and play therapy program for ages 1 – 5. Fit Pre-K is a program that was developed to screen for developmental milestone achievements through the encouraging nature of play. Our goal is to use fun, innovative exercises that will help children become more “Fit”(physically, mentally, etc.) We combine gymnastics, yoga, athletics, and other movement training into a seamless curriculum that targets improving gross motor function, flexibility, balance/agility, coordination, core strength and assertiveness in children. The program also focuses on working out the “imagination muscle” as kids are guided to really “be” the animals of the week to help build empathy, civility, and delayed gratification. This is a truly all-encompassing preschool development program.
