Move It (for the little ones) - KinderGym

Our first Move It - KinderGym program booked out overnight! Don't miss out this time around and join us at the brand-new Mitchell Park Sports and Community Club!

In partnership with Gymnastics SA, the program is designed for children aged 2 - 5 to attend all 3 weeks with each session offering an extensive range of fundamental movement opportunities, helping children to develop their motor skills, coordination, and confidence.

The program promotes the following philosophies:

· Positive movement experiences can influence a child’s outlook on physical activity for life.

· It is possible to assist in the development of children by providing an environment where the child may creatively explore and practice skills safely to increase confidence and self-esteem.

· Providing opportunities to develop the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional skills to create a foundation for an active life.
