Physical development plays a crucial role in children’s all-round development. At TLA, we provide both indoor and outdoor spaces where children can actively engage in play and receive adult support to enhance their physical abilities. Our holistic approach to physical development ensures that children build a strong foundation for healthy bodies, social interactions, and emotional well-being.
Here are some aspects of our approach.
1. Core strength and stability.
Through activities like balancing, crawling, and climbing, children develop their core strength and stability. These foundational skills contribute to overall physical health and well-being.
2. Balance and Spatial Awareness
Our play areas encourage children to explore balance spatial relationships.
Activities like walking on balance beams or navigating obstacles course enhance their spatial awareness.
3. Coordination and Agility
Children participate in activities that require coordination, such as catching and throwing balls dancing.
Agility is fostered through games that involve quick movements and changes in direction.
4. Fine Motor skills
We engage children in puzzles, play dough activities, small world play. This experiences help to refine fine motor skills including hand-eye coordination and precise movement. Fine motor controls such as holding a pencil or turning pages, is linked to early literacy. As children develop these skills, they become better prepared for writing and other literacy activities.
5. Gross motor skills
Gross motor skills are essential for activities like running, jumping, and climbing. We carry out Weekly sessions of physical education (PE), yoga and play dough disco.
