Kids On The Move

Kids on the Move is an opportunity for all children, regardless of age, special needs, or developmental stage, to interact with each other. It is a great outlet for that youthful energy! And best of all…IT IS FUN!

Movement is designed to help children develop large motor skills and coordination, increase spatial and rhythmic awareness, and to help provide a positive and fun learning experience. It also teaches children how to work together and interact with one another. The program includes activities such as boxing techniques, music, games, obstacles, and development of basic concepts like rhythm, directionality, perception and memory.

Our goal is to teach children how to find meaning and value in activities that will nourish rather than destroy them.

“I came to God shortly after my mom died. I didn’t understand it all too well but when I became 14 I truly started understanding it and have had a lot of support and encouragement since.”
