St. John's Academy : Early Education

PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT

The area of physical development incorporates both small and large motor activities. Small motor skills are practiced in the classroom daily through pre-writing, manipulatives, art, American Sign Language and material exploration.

Outside on our specially designed playground, children have ample area to develop gross motor abilities on equipment as well as through organized play. During inclement weather, classroom games, songs and circle activities engage young muscles in stretching and movement.
