Kid-Motion is a movement-oriented program, centered on weekly themes. Each class has a unique and carefully planned lesson to guarantee a fun, safe, active and challenging setting for all the age groups. The focus of each individual class is described below.

2's On My Own
During the 1 3/4 hr. class the children spend 55 minutes in the gym happily playing, climbing, jumping and balancing as they are engaged in a creative, developmentally appropriate environment. They continue the fun in the playroom where art, water play, playdoh, creative centers, snack and stories are on hand for their pleasure.

**The Kid-Motion Teachers’ Recommendation**
The best classes for continuing 2's for the next year are:
• 2 1/2 – 3’s AM classes
• Free To Be 3’s and 4’s Monday and Wednesday Classes

2 1/2 - 3's On My Own
This class shares the same structure as the younger class, with expanded circle and skill times. This class spends 65 minutes in the gym and 55 minutes in the playroom.

2's & 3's On My Own
This class shares the same structure as the younger class, with expanded circle and skill times. This class spends 65 minutes in the gym and 55 minutes in the playroom.

Gym and Art
This class is designed for children who love art as well as enjoy being physically active. The children begin their afternoon by bursting into the gym for an energetic hour of free play, obstacle and a game or activity.

They then move to the art room where they explore a variety of techniques and materials creating unique and amazing projects. Once a month a famous artist is introduced and then a coordinating project is produced using that artists' special technique.

AFTERNOON GYM CLASSES
(Free To Be 3’s & 4’s, Gymtime, Gym/Art/Story)

The classes are comprised of five different segments. Each class has carefully developed lessons that meet the needs and physical growth of the varied ages within those segments.

The Five Segments are:

Free Play
Free play gives children an opportunity to freely explore and choose their activities. This can be very physical, as some children try to perfect a movement on a piece of equipment. Others may engage in creative play using the room and equipment as a springboard for their play.

Circle Time
This is the time that the class joins for social interaction and language development. Children this age always have something to say and share. Other activities during circle time include songs, poems, and the favorite “Magic Can”.

Skill Time
Each week time is devoted to learning a particular skill by incorporating the infinite number of Kid-Motion “teaching tools” - balls, hoops, sticks, ropes, musical instruments, to name a few.

Obstacle Course
This activity is designed to ensure that all the children have a chance to use all the pieces of equipment in the room. Following directions, the children take turns winding their way around the room, using the equipment in different ways each week. This is not only a physical activity; it is one that also develops sequencing and patterns, which are backbones to readiness skills for school.

Group Game
The culminating activity for the class is a non-competitive game that usually that relates to the theme in some way.

Additionally the Free To Be 3’s & 4”s and Backdoor Club spend time in the backroom. The creative learning will continue with fun activities that will further extend the theme.
