​
Our Program offers a chance for each child to be a part of our movement classes. Within RMA we offer an area that allows for children to explore new ways to move. Each class has 30 minutes of physical education time during the day and ten minutes yoga and meditation. Our teachers include this time in their lesson planning to offer children a variety of skills and abilities such as social skills, cognitive, gross motor, teamwork, confidence, physical development and so much more!
Physical Education Program
Our Physical Education Community
​​
Academics are important, but so is finding time for fitness. When kids have the chance to run and play before school and at recess, they focus more and fidget less during class. Brain breaks also help. Physical education provides another opportunity to move during the school day. It also exposes kids to new sports and games and introduces important health habits.​
​
Our early-childhood resources teach the importance of physical activity for young children. We offer a variety of activity ideas that motivate children to move. Our Physical Education Program includes multiple opportunities for children to discover something new, allows children to develop many skills that transfer, and provides different learning experiences.
