There is extensive research showing that exposure to nature and being outdoors lowers stress in children. Learning about the space one’s body takes up is such an important skill, and there is no better way for kids to figure it out than through outdoor play. Running, jumping, climbing, and other aspects of outdoor play help kids develop gross motor abilities naturally. The more kids play, the more coordinated and strong they’ll become!
At Tiny Hoppers Rockland our preschool class loves to play in the snow and have fun sliding with each other.
