Why Physical Education?

Physical education is more than recess, more than a time to play. It's a time for learning. In our program, we aim to help children improve their physical, cognitive and affective learning skills. Success in physical education is extremely important pre-k through grade 3 so that they'll enjoy and participate in physical activity both at school and at home. A good foundation in skill development, cognitive understanding, and positive attitudes towards oneself in physical activity leads to physically active and healthy lifestyles.
