Sweet Peas Preschool Gymnastics Program
Sweet Peas is a specially designed educational preschool gymnastics program for promoting cognitive, physical, and social development in children 6 months to 6 years old. Sweet Peas blends movement and fun, creativity and patterns, and basic skills and learning into a play-based innovative program. Sweet Peas is based on the important fact that movement has been shown to directly impact brain development by creating new connections within the brain which enhance cognitive development.
(These brain connections are driven by movement that arises from our lower brain (the brain stem) in the form of primitive reflexes. The dance between brain and body begins before birth but blossoms into primitive reflexes by birth and then in a few months to postural reflexes, both of which will initiate and drive connections to our higher brain. Why is this important? These connections take the brain from the lower brain stem (survival) up to the higher brain, the cortex, which develops into our ‘thinking brain’. The presence and absence of these reflexes can also be used by clinicians to evaluate the development of the brain.)
Carefully designed for babies learning to sit and crawl. Wee Peas provides our littlest students with active learning activities that focus on whole baby development.
