Our Emphasis - Skills Based

In all our ECE and ES Physical Education Lessons we focus on Movement and Skill Based Learning.  This means that we are helping the children become better and more competent in their spatial awareness and basic motor skills.  This will help them to eventually enjoy playing sport or games as teens and adults.

It is important that in elementary school the emphasis be placed on practicing the fundamental motor and sport skills rather than learning rules or the structures of sports.  This emphasis provides greater success and understanding of the development of these young children.
