Physical Literacy Programming

Physical Literacy is more than simply ensuring our students are healthy.  The earlier children are introduced to a variety of physical movements, the better their physical literacy will be and the more they will seize on opportunities for fun and activity.

Support include:

  • Understanding student physical abilities and milestones based on age
  • Exposing to a wide variety of equipment, types of movement, outdoor play, and sports opportunities
  • Targeted programming to support students based on abilities, interests, and tailored to weather

Benefits for Students

Studies show kids with high physical literacy have:

  • better self-esteem
  • reduced risk for diabetes
  • higher test scores and
  • more stable moods
