Sometimes, during the growth stage, different psychomotor disorders appear. Fortunately, there are also different techniques that can treat or even put an end to these problems. Thus, at Logos Nursery School we have classrooms exclusively for psychomotor skills. In addition, we establish basic rules of behavior for this process and use different support materials to enhance the student's experience. But what are the benefits of psychomotor skills in Early Childhood Education?

Some common student activities such as enjoying a game, exploring, interacting with others or simply expressing oneself can be affected by psychomotor problems.

The best psychomotor exercises for children
Undoubtedly, all child psychomotor exercises stimulate the physical and psychological development of students. However, exercises aimed at increasing motor, linguistic and creative skills are the best techniques for their development.
Motor exercises
On the one hand, these types of exercises are very beneficial, especially when it comes to stimulating muscles and movement. On the other hand, they focus on activating the muscles through simple movements such as walking or sitting, as well as more complex activities such as dancing. In addition, we start with the simplest exercises little by little, until we reach the more complicated ones in order to correctly stimulate the student's motor development.
Linguistic exercises
Its main objective is to stimulate the students' communicative skills. Verbal and non-verbal language resources are used. The use of concept identification, vocal imitation and structure formation are employed. In addition, body language and imitation games are also part of the linguistic stimulation exercises.
Creativity exercises
Creativity, critical thinking and imagination are a fundamental part of growth. Therefore, to stimulate these functions, various techniques such as music, theater, painting and dance are used. In addition, these exercises also enhance children's sensitivity, freedom of expression and intelligence. In short, they are methods capable of stimulating cognitive skills and fostering the students' ability to communicate.
At Logos Nursery School, nursery school in Las Rozas de Madrid, we use different support materials such as songs, puppets, picture cards, foam modules, paints or hoops, as we believe that experimentation with different materials favors the opportunity for multiple experiences.
