Preschool Safety
Preschool children present their own set of criteria within the gym environment. The differences do not stop at those skills which we teach preschoolers and how we teach them. Rather, they include the safety issues of which we should be aware. Coaches who work with preschool aged children must be aware of their specific safety issues. They must design lesson plans accordingly, and supervise classes and activities appropriately. Skills and equipment must be tailored to meet the needs of the child. In this session, we will cover:
- Safety warnings
- Safety and stretches
- Class management
- Parental education
- Bars safety
- Beam safety
- Trampoline safety
- The never ending debate: bridges
- Special needs
