The Mighty Mites Preschool Class
What is Mighty Mites?
The Mighty Mites Class at T.E.A.M. 4 Kids is designed for preschool-aged kids who need to move! This class is built to enhance each child’s gross motor skills through the use of activities, music, books, crafts, fun, and games! Mighty Mites is designed and led by a member of the physical therapy team, and it has pre-planned activities to keep every child engaged and motivated. This class focuses on activities to challenge each child’s gross motor skills while increasing their participation with peers in a dynamic environment.
Who benefits from the Mighty Mites class?
The Mighty Mites class helps kids ages three to six improve their strength, balance, coordination, and endurance in a fun-filled, action-packed group setting. Kids who would benefit from this class may have difficulty navigating uneven surfaces, keeping up with peers their age, or utilizing playground equipment successfully. These kiddos may appear clumsy or fall a lot during the day. The Mighty Mites Class focuses on improving kids’ overall gross motor abilities to succeed in various environments and increase their physical participation with peers! The class is adapted to accommodate all ability levels and help meet each child’s gross motor or physical therapy goals.
What activities do you do in this class?
This class focuses on building strength, balance, coordination, and endurance by utilizing fun toys and equipment such as obstacle courses, games, balls, bubbles, and parachutes. The lessons encourage climbing, jumping, hopping, balancing, throwing, catching, kicking, overall mobility, and so much more! We adapt our lesson plans to accommodate all children and can alter each activity so everyone can succeed. Activities are often inspired by books, songs, crafts, and videos so the child doesn’t realize they are working, but instead, they are having fun with peers while learning and refining their gross motor skills!
