Studies show that children who are exposed to structured physical activity at a young age will more likely be active when they are older, be more focused and have better test scores. That’s according to Chandler resident Scott Karlin, who is also owner of JumpBunch of Phoenix-East Valley, a mobile sports and fitness program for kids. Karlin is partnering with Mona’s Country Day School, a preschool in Southern Chandler, to offer toddler and preschool physical education classes as part of their curriculum starting this month. “Physical education is an important component in the development of a child,” explains Karlin. “JumpBunch offers the students at Mona’s the opportunity to be active each week, build coordination, self-esteem and to help promote a healthy lifestyle.”
A different sport and fitness activity is introduced each week and with more than 70 different activities, JumpBunch is the only way for children to be exposed to such a wide variety of sports and fitness activities. “JumpBunch offers all of the major sports, such as football, t-ball, basketball, soccer, and hockey plus other sports and fitness activities such as yoga, cheer, cricket, volleyball, lacrosse and more,” Karlin adds.
JumpBunch classes last from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the age group, and begin with warm-ups, fun exercises and creative stretching techniques followed by the sports activity of the week and a fitness activity, such as an obstacle course. Proven lesson plans with age appropriate equipment and music are included.
