Preschool - Gymbug Adventures (3-5 years old)

 

Program Information 

WHY A ROLLY POLLIES PRE-SCHOOL PROGRAM?

 

NAEYC, the National Association for Sport and Physical Education, and the US Department of Health and Human Services all recommend that preschool programs offer physical education.

 

There are many reasons why. First, young children form healthy habits early in life. Secondly, movement can help children develop, not only motorically but emotionally and socially as well. 

 

Our specially designed preschool adventures program is rooted in the belief that learning through doing is fundamental for young children and movement is essential to learning.
