Marco Island, FL, October 23, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Island Montessori Academy announces a new physical enrichment program offered to students ages 3-8 and developed by local children’s fitness center, My Gym of Naples.
The students at IMA participate in a fitness program designed to build strength, balance, coordination, self-awareness, and team work. Beginning gymnastics skills, games and team building activities are introduced to the children, with the use of music, dance and special props like hula hoops.
“We wanted to provide a fun and healthy program for the kids. They look forward to this every week,” says Lisa Nguyen, IMA founder and Head of School.
