Gross Motor Skills Development Program @ Educare Early Intervention

This program is offered in partnership with Clearwater Physical Therapy, and is made possible through the support of the Fort McMurray Kinsmen Club. Gross motor development is crucial as it affects all other areas of development. The large muscles must be developmentally conditioned before a child’s mind can start the development of the small muscles which in turn enhances a child’s fine motor skills as well as speech and language. Taking part in gross motor activities has a positive impact on school readiness skills such as reading, writing, and sitting posture; all fundamentals of school success. Children will experience success in school by having met their developmental milestones at the right stages.
