The program encourages gross motor development and physical activity. Parents receive support, education, resources, referrals and an opportunity to meet other parents.

Parental participation is mandatory. Parents must supervise their child and must also help with setting up equipment, putting away equipment, cleaning equipment, etc.

Parents in our program have worked together to fund-raise and apply for grants. So far they have acquired over $5,000 in equipment designed specifically for infants, toddlers and preschoolers!
