GetFIT with CPS Athletics is a specially designed program that pairs motor skill development with fun enrichment for CPS preschoolers. CPS Athletics believes that a strong motor skill development program enhances each child’s ability to acquire basic concepts and confidence. Our sessions emphasize skills that are important for school success such as; listening and following directions, colors, shapes, spatial concepts, vocabulary enrichment and expressive language skills. Most importantly, we will provide a fun and captivating experience for all CPS preschool students in attendance!

GetFIT DETAILS

• CPS Athletics will have a coach or two come to lead the scheduled session. They will arrive 15 minutes prior to the scheduled session to set-up the identified space.
• You will identify the large space and coordinate ensuring the space is reserved for our sessions.
• You will have the students split into groups of 20 or less.
• You will have all students wearing a name tag with their first name on it. If the students can be photographed, they should have a special sticker on their name tag.
• A preschool staff member should be present to assist with any behavioral issues that cannot be easily redirected. 

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

We will start with an opening circle where each student will share their name and something about themselves. Then, we lead a few motor skill activities including music movement, parachute, beanbags, etc. We wrap up each session with a closing circle and give everyone a small present.
