Why Movement Matters: The Preschool Brain, Behavior, and School Readiness Connection with Erin Carey
About this episode
This episode discusses the connection between physical movement and early childhood brain development with Erin Carey.
In this episode of What Great Teachers Know That All Parents Can Use , we sit down with Erin Carey, Executive Director of Trinity Presbyterian Preschool, to uncover why your child’s physical development is directly connected to their academic success, emotional regulation, and confidence. Erin explains why movement, motor development, and brain development in early childhood are the true foundations of learning, and how the way children move quite literally strengthens the brain, improving cognitive development, self-regulation, and problem-solving skills. We explore how young children’s brains develop through movement, why crossing the midline is critical for reading and writing readiness, and the link between fine motor skills and classroom success.
