JoyKids recognises physical education as an important aspect of a child’s development. It not only contributes to a long-term healthy lifestyle, participating in sports develops teamwork and social abilities.

Our physical education curriculum for preschool children is unique; we integrated different types of sports in the curriculum throughout the year which gradually build upon each other.

Children in preschool will participate in swimming in the first term to practice gross motor skills, coordination and self-awareness through low-impact movements. As children gain more strength, we challenge them further by introducing them to rock climbing, which engages the whole body and requires some degree of strategy to stay on the wall.

Finally, as the children mature, they engage in gymnastics lessons where they focus on hand-eye coordination, finer movements and motor skills. Children will also work together in teams to accomplish drills and exercises which gives them the chance to interact and learn team awareness.
