After School Pickup
Here are some of the benefits of our after school pickup program:
Students will have an opportunity to identify a physical activity that they can enjoy and engage in long term.
According to the CDC, encouraging students to be physically active after school helps them identify activities they enjoy and might engage in long term.
Students will engage in 60 minutes of physical activity which will lead to healthier bodies.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that children ages 5-21 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day. Our after schoolers will participate in a 60 minute gymnastics class every day.
Students experience motor learning that improves academic success.“The more a child tumbles, climbs, creeps, and crawls, the more densely wired the brain becomes for academic success."-Debra EM Wilson, M.A., Reading Specialist
