Our students have been busy learning and growing through play!
We supported gross motor skills with warm-weather walks, giving little legs plenty of movement and fresh air. Inside, friends strengthened their bodies and coordination using the sensory swing and sensory body sock — such great tools for building balance and body awareness.
Our fine motor skills were hard at work too as we created beautiful watercolor artwork, practicing grip, control, and creativity.
We love providing meaningful sensory experiences that help every child feel regulated, confident, and ready to learn!
Did you know we have a Sensory Support Specialist that comes in weekly? Meet Miss Nicole, she is the best!

On this chilly two-hour delay day, Nicole, our amazing Sensory Support Specialist at the YMCA ELC at Cory-Rawson, brought the fun and the learning. Through playful, hands-on activities, she helped our students build hand strength, coordination, bilateral hand coordination, hand-eye coordination, and proprioception skills — all while keeping little hands and bodies moving and warm. Even our school-age students jumped in and participated, making it a fun, active, and skill-building day for everyone!
