the story
A solid foundation and confidence in skills such as balance, coordination, and locomotor movements
frees the brain to perform the higher order demands of
reading, writing, and mathematical fluency.

Early is always better than later, prevention of difficulties is better than trying to remediate later & it is never too late. The brain is always trying to get things right

In Schools
PEP (Physical Education Professionals) focuses the importance of quality early movement experiences.
They are the foundation for a lifetime of learning, health, and fitness.
