Developing skills at the YMCA
Over the last 2 terms we have been sending our BestStart Somerset preschool room to the YMCA on a Monday. We have Coach Brook take our classes where she sets up different obstacles and challenges for us to strengthen our bodies. We do a good warm up first, then we are allowed to go onto the rotation of the laid-out course. After all of this we get to have some free play time!
The children love having these opportunities to not only strengthen their physical abilities, but also help them to self regulate. They are able to take their learnings and bring it back into the centre, where they build their own obstacle courses and pass on the knowledge gained to their younger friends.
