The Kinetics Active Learning Program provides a unique and active setting where children participate in both structured and free play experiences that enhance your child’s cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills.  Your child will be given many opportunities to create, discover, imagine, problem solve, and explore.  Our activities will foster a healthy self esteem, independence and compassion for others.

The day is filled with movement, excitement, and close interaction with teachers and each other.  This close interaction builds trust and respect which in turn allows us to build positive behavior, self-esteem and confidence.

Our program goes beyond regular reading, writing and arithmetic to build a child from the inside-out.  We start  the day with simple exercises to stimulate brain function.  These brain exercises address specific dimensions of physical movement that correlate with areas of the brain that are used for focus, concentration, comprehension and communication.  The physical exercises that we focus on improves coordination, balance, motor function and sensory integration. 

The programs that we follow include Brain Gym®, developed by educator and reading specialist Paul E. Dennison, powerBrain Education developed by Ilchi Lee, and Physical Activities for Improving Children’s Learning and Behavior by Billye Ann Cheatum and Allison A. Hammond.

The specific developmental exercises implemented in our program have been shown in studies to improve students:

1. •attention span and concentration
   

2. •stress levels
   

3. •social skills and confidence
   

4. •creativity
   

5. •reading and writing
   

6. •balance and coordination
   

7. •self-esteem
   

These exercises and programs have especially shown improvement in children with learning and behavioral difficulties. (Please see the testimonials and links on the left side of this page.)

Included throughout our day is reading, writing, creative arts, science, social studies and math. But, even these subjects are taught in a fun and active way.  For example: Kids will run to pick up a beanbag with the letters A, L, and R rather than sitting and pointing to them on paper.

To get a better idea of what your kids will doing day to day, take a look at some sample lesson plans, pictures, and study sheets.  Other links about our program are located on the left side of this page.
