About this Event
Movement: The Gateway to Learning
In the first four years of life, sensorimotor and social development precedes language and logic skills. This early foundation of motor development gives a child their body intelligence. A coordinated, well-balanced body supports the child’s ease in higher-level learning and adds joy to their life. Organized motor skills underlie attention to task, inhibitory control, and working memory – all the keys to executive function, which is the gateway to learning!
In this workshop, you will learn why movement is important and how you can support your child’s development through movement. There will be a good mix of theory and practice in this workshop, so come prepared to move and dance!
