How Children Benefit From Playing Sports

At Miss Sue's, our prime educational goal is the development of the whole child - socially, emotionally and physically. One way in which the child is developed physically is through sports. Below are some of the benefits children will reap from participating in sports.

Physically
Young children who attend nursery school are starting to develop motor skills. Sports help children get stronger and more flexible. That's why our outdoor facilities were specifically designed to foster muscular coordination.

Socially
Nursery school provides children their first opportunity to interact with their peers. When we play sports at Miss Sue's, it also helps them learn about cooperation and teamwork. Every game is a win-win situation!

Emotionally
Since sports are a new concept to most children, it is something they must learn and get the hang of. Once a child masters a new skill, it can boost their self-confidence. 

We have a large, fenced-in and safe outdoor play area. It's fully equipped with swing, a climbing helicopter and boat, a giant sandbox, a state-of-the-art playground and a soccer field. All of this is specifically designed to encourage independence and improve muscular coordination. If this is the kind of facility you would like your child to attend, call 516-938-0894 today.
