Studies show that preschool gymnastics enhances cognitive development and academic readiness essentials such as laterality, visual differentiation, hand-eye coordination, directionality, and sensory discrimination.
Emerging new science about brain development of the young child has now proven what coaches, teachers, and parents have long intuited—that movement and play are essential for maximizing intellectual and emotional development. Running, skipping, jumping, rolling, spinning cross-lateral movement and inverting are more than child’s play – they connect neurons necessary for later academic success.
