Constant Motion

A typical class starts out with the Hello Song and ends with the Goodbye, So long, Farewell. From the beginning of class till the very last minute children and caregivers are in constant movement. We are either clapping our hands, rolling balls, dancing with scarfs, or exploring different instruments. As someone who has a hard time just sitting I really appreciate all the movement that goes on in class.

Children like moving and they learn so much more when they don't have to just sit and be still. At the same time, as a parent, I've realized that I also interact with my child better if I too am moving around and trying things out in his rhythm. I really appreciate the 45 minutes we have together in class where we can both move around and play together.
