Four mornings a week, Connie takes a small group to the hall to participate in the Perceptual Motor Programme (PMP).
Body + Brain = Learning
MSPMP is a motor coordination programme for school age children, comprised of sequential movement activities across the Kinetic Scale (six different stations) for classes of up to 30 students, ages 5 & up.
By revealing the “learning nexus” between the body and the brain, PMP isolates the six critical spheres of physical and sensory influence that prepare the brain for formal learning.
The MSPMP programme is…
HOLISTIC. Movement/Language development programme, with focus on Motor Coordination, Cognitive Development, Self-Esteem, Social Skills and ability to cope better in the classroom.
DIAGNOSTIC. Helping teachers recognize children’s needs in relation to Sensory, Balance, Intuition, Power, Coordination, Control, and the ramifications of these foundations unfulfilled.
PROBLEM SOLVING. Gives children strategies for problem solving.
EASY IMPLEMENTATION. Delivers carefully crafted sequenced (and fun!) activities, packed with learning foundations.
A SMIDGEN OF PREVENTION. Designed to be preventative rather than curative.
FITNESS-ORIENTED. Covers many strands of traditional Junior PE/Health Curriculum.
