And if we develop the knowledge at an early age to be active and healthy, the benefits will last a lifetime. The benefits of children’s activities can begin as early as six months old.

With proper guidance, children can have fun as they gain strength, balance, coordination, agility, and flexibility, while developing social skills, confidence, and self-esteem. A child who feels good about him/herself has a jumpstart on the path to success!
