Pre-School is the time when young children develop basic motor skills and adapting wellness is significant.
Here’s what quality physical education programs can do for students, according to the National Association for Sport and Physical Education:
Improved Physical Fitness
Improves children's muscular strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, body composition and cardiovascular endurance.
Regular, Healthful Physical Activity
Provides a wide-range of developmentally appropriate activities for all children.
Skill Development
Develops motor skills, which allow for safe, successful and satisfying participation in physical activities.
Self-Discipline
Facilitates development of student responsibility for health and fitness.
Stress Reduction
Physical activity becomes an outlet for releasing tension and anxiety, and facilitates emotional stability and resilience.
Experience Setting Goals
Gives children the opportunity to set and strive for personal, achievable goals.
Support of Other Subject Areas
Reinforces knowledge learned across the curriculum.
Serves as a lab for application of content in science, math and social studies.
Improved Judgment
Quality physical education can influence moral development. Students have the opportunity to assume leadership, cooperate with others, question actions and regulations, and accept responsibility for their own behavior.
Strengthened Peer Relationships
Physical education can be a major force in helping children socialize with others successfully and provides opportunities to learn positive people skills. Especially during late childhood and adolescence, being able to participate in dances, games and sports is an important part of peer culture.
Improved Self-Confidence & Self-Esteem
Physical education instills a stronger sense of self-worth in children based on their mastery of skills and concepts in physical activity. They can become more confident, assertive, independent and self-controlled.
The Kidz Fitness program, will not only bring 30 minutes of fitness/wellness activity to the classroom, but will also incorporate what the children are learning in the classroom (Colors, Shapes, Letters, Numbers, etc).
