Welcome to MoveSmartKidsTM
The ABCs of Movement
"In my 25 years of experience in exercise science, I've seen firsthand how the crucial role of structured play for motor development is often ignored or overlooked for young children. Parents wrongly believe some kids are born for sports or fitness and some are not. The truth is that all children can become skilled at movement and physically active! All they need is the right foundation at a young age. MoveSmartKids is here to build that foundation and set your child up for a lifetime of healthy and successful movement."

ABOUT US
Our Story
An active and healthy life starts with a single step, jump, or skip. While many kids give up on sports and being fit and active early on, MoveSmartKidsTM is here to rewrite that story.
Our mission is to help children discover the joy of movement right from the start. We focus on teaching the fundamental skills kids need to feel confident and coordinated in their bodies. In our fun, positive, and pressure-free environment, your child won’t just play; they’ll build a healthy foundation that lasts a lifetime. We are passionate about unlocking every child's potential and making movement- whether in sports, fitness, or in daily life, something they genuinely love.

The Two Types of Play Every Child Needs
There are two types of play that every child needs:
1) Unstructured (think recess) and 2) Structured (think PE class only better). By performing the second type, structured play, with MoveSmartKidsTM on a regular basis, a child's life and future can be changed, sometimes dramatically, for the better. If done correctly, structured play sets a child up for a lifetime of movement success.
The Science
3 Core Movement Domains
There are 3 Core Movement Domains:
-
Locomotion
-
Balance and Stability
-
Object Control and Manipulation.
We use all 3 at MoveSmartKidsTM to ensure that your child does the specific types of exercises needed to develop properly.
Emotional, Mental, and Physical Development
-
Emotional Development- through increased motivation, grit, and confidence.
-
Mental Development- by learning how to move.
-
Physical Development- through structured play in the 3 core movement domains.
