Two important components of the Federal Government’s Early Years Learning Framework curriculum are wellbeing and active learning. At Stafford Heights Kindergarten we incorporate these into our learning through weekly half-hour sessions with an Accredited Exercise Physiologist who teaches the children basic progressive and developmental pilates.
Over the course of the year, children visibly gain improved strength, co-ordination and confidence through their pilates practice. The exercises and focused breathing techniques improve gross motor skills, promote good listening and instruction following, and hone concentration.
