"Gymnastics and early childhood movement education is directly attributed to developing neurological pathways in students and promoting reading readiness."
(Raising-A-Reader, 1999)

Children who have participated in movement education activities have longer attention spans, better communication skills, general problem-solving skills, and improved self-esteem, all of which lead to successful life experiences.
