Children at this developmental stage are bursting with energy, enthusiasm, and an incredible eagerness to learn! We create an environment that’s not only enjoyable but also focuses on Fine Motor Development, which is all about mastering the coordination and precise use of those amazing little muscles in their hands, wrists, fingers, toes, eyes, and even their tongues!
Let’s dive into some exciting concepts that we nurture:
-
Hand-eye Coordination: This is the fantastic ability to sync eye movements with hand movements, allowing kids to tackle specific tasks with amazing accuracy!
-
Hand-to-toe Coordination: Just like the hand-eye coordination, this skill helps children connect their eye movements with their toe movements while they’re busy having fun!
-
