Our Monday is brimming with sweet moments.

Physical activity has benefits at every age, and helps kids: keep their heart and lungs strong and healthy, become more flexible,... develop strong bones, keep a healthy body weight, lower the risk of several diseases and health problems, improve their mood and self-esteem, and do better in school! #obstaclecourse #preschoolplayground #physicaleducation #balancepractice #happyhealthykiddos
