Little Movers™
(Adaptive By Design™)
(Preschoolers, Ages 3–5)
Rapid discovery, boundless energy, and the foundation for a lifetime of play.
The preschool years are a time of rapid discovery. Once your little one starts to explore the world on their own two feet, their physical demands change. Little Movers™ is designed for the high-energy stage of ages 3–5, turning fundamental movement into an adventure.
We focus on "Big Motor Skills" like balance, climbing, and coordination, helping your child master their body’s mechanics while encouraging their natural curiosity. Together, we build a foundation of physical confidence that prepares them for a lifetime of activity.
Program Focus:
- Body Awareness: Learning how to control "wiggles" and follow intentional movement patterns.
- Fundamental Coordination: Developing the balance, rhythm, and motor skills needed for confident play.
- Confidence through Discovery: Building a joyful relationship with movement in a safe, supportive group setting.
The Little Movers Protocol: Specialist + Trainer
- Mobility (The Specialist): Ensuring full range of motion in the hips and ankles to support a confident, stable gait.
- Metabolism (The Trainer): Building cardiovascular stamina and "play-energy" through high-engagement coordination games.
- Posture (The Specialist): Addressing early postural habits and core stability to prevent "slumped" sitting and promote upright confidence.
Adaptive By Design™ (Youth Levels)
- Level 1: Focus on basic balance and following simple movement stories.
- Level 2: Adding "cross-body" movements (like marching) and basic jumping.
- Level 3: Introducing complex coordination, like hopping on one foot and agility games.
amaDEO Circle™
"The final 10 minutes of every session are dedicated to the amaDEO Circle™. While the little ones finish their play, we use this time to connect with caregivers—sharing wins, asking questions about coordination, and discussing simple ways to encourage healthy movement at home. We believe that when we support the caregiver, the child thrives."
