Our vision
Maat S was founded because we believe it is important for children to develop good motor skills. We focus on toddlers and pre-schoolers, as the greatest motor development takes place in the early years. By introducing the basic forms of movement in a playful and varied way, the key muscle groups will begin to develop. A child will also need these muscle groups later on to learn a sport. An active lifestyle therefore begins with a solid motor skills foundation at a young age. Learning to move properly from an early age also ensures that children are more likely to grow up healthy and well-balanced.
Our top priority is that children enjoy being active. When children are having fun, they learn more and are more likely to continue being active even after our course has finished. By creating a safe environment in which children can discover their own potential, we encourage and motivate them to keep taking things a step further or higher, which in turn boosts their self-confidence. Not only do the lessons boost children’s self-confidence, but they also help them develop social skills such as playing together, taking turns and getting on well with one another. ‘Playing together, sharing together’ is a principle that is reflected in our lessons.
We
also believe that our lessons should be relaxing for the children, as this helps them to develop cognitively as well. When children are physically active, they find it easier to absorb, understand and process new information.
We’re all about laying an excellent foundation for the rest of your life!
