This online course is essential for preschool instructors and teachers, providing a solid foundation in child development theory within the context of gymnastics-based movement education. R101 equips educators to better understand their students and effectively plan, organize, and lead safe, engaging preschool classes. Key topics include teaching philosophy, developmental stages, effective teaching traits, class management, safety, skill breakdown, lesson planning, and program evaluation. This online course can be taken as a stand-alone learning experience or as a compliment to the live R102: Preschool Fundamentals Hands-on Training course.
