Developing Lifelong Learners through Extracurricular Activities

Well-planned extracurricular activities can help enhance your child’s learning experiences and overall development. Children learn most when they are given new and challenging experiences that expand their knowledge and broaden their skillsets. It’s important to encourage your child to explore and try a variety of extracurricular activities to promote development, enrichment, and boost confidence!

Extracurricular activities are especially beneficial for social development. Any time children are encouraged to work together and share ideas, they are fostering important social skills like teamwork and friendship. Kids ‘R’ Kids offers children the opportunity to learn these valuable skills through our health and fitness challenge, foreign language classes, dance, music, and technology.

Extracurricular activities also benefit cognitive development, which is a child’s ability to think and reason. Any activity that promotes thinking skills, like learning a foreign language or engaging in technology, enhances brain development. Kids ‘R’ Kids provides children the opportunity to learn multiple languages, as well as managing values of diversity and communication. Lessons and games using a variety of technology components also continues to expand a child’s understanding that learning can happen anywhere.

Children also benefit emotionally and physically from extracurricular activities. Children who are consistently challenged with learning new skills grow to become more confident, coordinated, and creative. Activities that encourage hard work and collaboration with peers foster a sense of pride and accomplishment for children to share with each other. Physical activities contribute to increased fitness, agility, strength, and even academic performance. Kids ‘R’ Kids provides music and dance classes for children to express themselves in a healthy and safe environment

As a parent, you want to see your child grow and flourish. Extracurricular activities can help your child be more physically active, alert, and imaginative. By enrolling your child in one of our special programs, you are helping your child develop into a healthy and active lifelong learner.
