MOCO Movement Center

MOCO Movement Center MOCO strives to keep the environments as fun and natural to each participant as what they would choose to do during their own free time.

https://linktr.ee/mocomovementcenter We have so many different services to offer! Applied Functional Therapy™
MOCO Movement Center takes pediatric therapy (Occupational, Physical, and Speech) out of the clinic and into the real world. With a synthetic ice rink, climbing wall, obstacle courses and professional musical studio, our modern facility has something for everyone! Movement & Play-Based Classes

Our classes build strength, coordination, balance, and confidence through purposeful play. Children explore obstacle courses, climbing elements, balance challenges, trampolines, and suspended equipment — all designed to support physical and developmental growth in a fun, supportive environment. Classes include:
• Caregiver–child classes
• Preschool and school-age movement classes
• Gymnastics foundations
• Infant Massage

Skill Builders Programs

Skill Builders are small-group programs focused on developing specific functional, social, and motor skills in a structured yet playful setting. These programs bridge the gap between therapy and recreation with clear goals and real-world application. Current & upcoming Skill Builders include: (Launching 2026)
• Recess Ready: Four Square: building playground confidence, game skills, turn-taking, and peer interaction
• Skill Builders: Get Crafty: supporting fine motor skills, planning, creativity, and task completion
• Skill Builders: Agility Academy: focused on speed, coordination, body control, and athletic readiness

Learn-to-Ride Bike Intensives

MOCO’s Bike Riding Intensives use a proven balance-first approach to help children learn to ride independently. Programs are individualized, confidence-building, and led by experienced staff who understand motor learning and child development. Summer Adventure Program

Our half-day Summer Adventure Program for children ages 5-10 blends movement, obstacle courses, cooperative games, and themed activities in MOCO’s dynamic facility. Small groups and intentional programming support strength, coordination, confidence, and social engagement, all while having fun. Caregiver Education & Community Programs

We also offer caregiver education sessions, workshops, and community-based programming designed to support families beyond traditional therapy and classes.

When the body is supported, hands can do more.

In this moment, a child is supporting their body through their arms
while reaching, rotating, and scooping — all during playful, child-led interaction.

That combination builds strength, coordination, and focus
for everyday tasks like writing, dressing, and play.

This is how skills connect at MOCO.

When creativity meets therapy 💙

Today our gym turned into a Doggy Day Care — complete with a dog spa, movement stations, and purposeful play.

Behind the cuteness:
🐾 Sensory exploration
🐾 Motor planning
🐾 Language + following directions
🐾 Fine motor skills

This is how we build skills that matter, through movement, imagination, and fun.

Confidence comes before pedaling.

Our Bike Riding Intensive is designed for kids who need time, encouragement, and the right support, not pressure.

Small moments build big wins, and independence follows.
