A fun-filled, movement-based learning experience modeled after a recent highly-successful research study with preschoolers. You and your child will learn the imaginative math-movements designed to increase your child’s literacy and numeracy through movement and play. Your child will jumpstart literacy and numeracy by playing hop-scotch type games on the brightly-colored floor mats for reading, math and science. Come learn the math-movements including Jack-in-the Box, Praying Mantis, Race Car, or Snake Slither. Observe how these movements calm your child and increase his/her ability to focus. Come see how quickly your child learns through jumping on the Sentence Hop mat, the Alphabet hop, Skip Counting mats, Word Hop mat, Dollar Hop, Hop by Tens, Animal Hop and more. Parent or caregiver required to be actively involved supporting your child.
