Pretending isn't just child's play. Playing make believe is the one of the best ways to help your child become a creative thinker, a good problem solver, and a great student. According to experts, creative problem solving is a skill set that helps children in school, work, and life. Research suggests that a child's imagination quotient (aka "the other IQ") may play a larger role in predicting scholastic success than the more traditional aptitude measure, intelligence quotient. The Little Gym curriculum incorporates thoughtful and fun activities to stretch your child's imagination while they stretch their bodies. Weekly themes encourage children to explore their own fantasy world. Music provides a creative outlet for their emotions. And exploration in the gym presents your child with opportunities to share, take turns, and make decisions. Kids learn best when they're excited about what they're doing. So go on, let your child's imagination run wild. Help them develop a healthy body and a healthy open mind.
