"Fun with Fine Motor"
Fridays 9:00-10:00
"Fun with Fine Motor" will provide opportunities for your child to develop and enhance their fine motor skills all through play activities. A multi-sensory approach will be used to build foundational fine motor skills. Core strengthening and some gross motor skills will also be addressed through various play activities, as large muscle development builds a foundation for later developing fine motor skills.
Each week, your child will participate in fun, engaging activities that will address a variety of fine motor skills. The fine motor skills targeted provide the foundation required for handwriting and other material and tool manipulation required later on in childhood. Because every child has varying levels of fine motor abilities and areas of growth, activities will be modified to meet each individual child’s need.
Sessions will include fine motor games, crafts and other play activities, finger play songs, core strengthening and gross motor games. Skills targeted will include strengthening, bi-lateral coordination, crossing mid-line, hand dominance, fine motor control and precision, crayon grasp and fine motor manipulation.
Group facilitators will be Sarah Eller, an occupational therapist, and Marena Mitchell, a speech-language pathologist
Class size is limited to 8 children.
Cost is $180 for the 8 week group session.
