Want to give your child the best start in life? That extra edge that will help them become well-rounded, well-adjusted adults? Research suggests that creative physical activity may be the key to fostering confident, successful kids. In other words, Serious Fun provides some serious benefits. And, we have the research to back it up!

At The Little Gym of Exton, we take a holistic “Three-Dimensional Learning” approach to skill development. This philosophy is based on three core tenets: “Get Moving” to foster flexibility, strength, balance and coordination; “Brain Boost” to nurture listening skills, concentration and decision making; and “Citizen Kid” to promote sharing, teamwork, cooperation and leadership abilities.

We're not the only ones who see the value of this approach. Major studies note the benefits of a whole child approach to physical activity. Research has shown that:
Children make judgments about their motor skill abilities at an early age, which may affect their willingness to take on new physical challenges as they get older.

Structured and repetitive physical activities can improve a child’s processing speed, working memory, self-control and strategic decision-making ability.

Early participation in structured group activities that allow children to cultivate skills such as initiative, teamwork, and emotional regulation, can help children more effectively take on leadership roles in childhood and later life.
