jumping in our letter pit or riding down a
scooter board ramp.


Motor Gym work on fine motor skills. Ex.
Using go fingers to carry objects with
tweezers across a balance beam or relay
races to bear walk to a wall to fill in circles
on a sheet of paper using a correct grasp on
a pencil.


Last 5 minutes of class is always show and
tell and parent training!


THE BEST AGE TO START
WORKING WITH KIDS IS BEFORE
THEY START KINDERGARTEN!!!
This is true for gifted children who write early, for neuro-
typical children and especially true for children who
struggle with fine or visual motor skills! Four year old
children often copy the letters, but in the wrong sequence
- then it becomes habit (and we cannot break that after the
middle of first grade). They also often have funky grasps,
that can get locked in before Kindergarten. If I could fill
up the clinic with only ONE class, it would be the Fall/
Spring preschool classes - they are FUN, and the kids
make huge strides in readiness skills for Kindergarten.
Those that take the Fall classes are eligible for an
Advanced class in the Spring! Finger Gymnastics

We have Preschool Power Camps during the summer to work on fine motor skills, stroke development and Kindergarten
readiness skills. Summer camp does not work on individual letters as young children need 4 months to develop skills
over time. During the fall we offer Finger Gymnastics and Sensory Motor ABC classes . We offer new classes
beginning in January - May. For students who have been through a Finger Gymnastics or Sensory Motor ABC class in
the fall, we offer Advanced Preschool Classes in the Spring.

Call 972 633-1974 to schedule. Classes fill quickly so call early!
