Bridging the gap between active play and kindergarten readiness, the Pre-School Sport Academy workshops, turns playtime into kindergarten preparation. The activities provide immediate developmental feedback to build essential school-ready skills.
addressing youth health concerns with the power of play
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends regular physical activity for all preschoolers. There are an estimated 17.6 million overweight children under age 5, obese or overweight. Our workshops align recreational activities with early childhood developmental standards.

Our workshops include a series of 14 kindergarten-readiness skills aligned with state academic standards, NASPE, and STEM frameworks.

- Active learning — knowledge through doing
- Social & emotional development — cooperation, confidence, emotional regulation
- Language & communication — STEM vocabulary, following instruction
- Cognitive development — pattern recognition, problem-solving, memory retention
- Motor development — gross and fine motor skills appropriate to age
objectives:
Participating youth are trained to demonstrate measurable gains in:
- Following multi-step instructions
