Let's Move

Children love to move. Physical activity is good for children’s bodies and their minds. Moving helps everyone feel good and it supports the healthy development of our entire bodies.

Research shows that all children need and benefit from at least 60-minutes of physical activity everyday but the sad truth is many children are not getting it. One study found that in some childcare centers, children were only getting about 20-minutes of physical activity per day.

Rest assured, KKLC was not one of those centers. Here we truly understand the importance of physical activity and we encourage it twice a day for 30-minute intervals at a time.

Our "Let's Move" program was designed to instill healthy lifestyle habits in young children. We incorporates preschool exercises and preschool fitness into a program that is educational and fun. In addition, it teaches overall health, anatomy, nutrition, exercise, and healthy food choices.

Our "Let's Move" Physical Fitness program begins daily after breakfast. In our multipurpose room children jump, run, crawl, stretch and more to different music genres. Whether it is music and movement, aerobics, or alphabetcising, your child will be having fun while practicing what it means to be physically fit.

Later in the day, children are taken outside to climb, run, jump, and slide in our outdoor playground. If the weather is bad, we venture off into the multipurpose room. Here we utilize balance beams, dancing scarves, parachutes, and more to ensure that we are meeting our daily physical fitness requirement. Come join us sometime!
