Movement and Gymnastics

LANK makes an effort to teach its children various healthy living habits and fitness techniques. In the classroom, topics that teach children about living a healthy lifestyle, such as eating healthy foods and having good dental hygiene, are discussed. Each day, weather permitting, children are encouraged to run and play outside on the LANK playground. To supplement these efforts, LANK staff has developed a Movement and Gymnastics enrichment program to help support the idea that health and exercise are all important parts of a daily routine.

Movement and gymnastics is available to all LANK children enrolled in the 4 Day, 5 Day, or Kindergarten classes. Meeting once each week, the class emphasizes movement, stretching, and good health practices as well as elementary tumbling and basic gymnastics skills. Using a combination of skill development exercises and games that emphasize following oral directions and cooperative group skills, our certified gymnastics instructors have developed a program that LANK kids love and look forward to all week long.
