Play and Creative Movement

Vincent Grady (a.k.a. Spinny Vinny)—freestyle soccer performer, movement educator, and flow facilitator—has created a fun, innovative physical education curriculum at the Earth School. The program's skill-based approach to movement emphasizes the intrinsic connection between self expression and creativity. Starting as early as Pre-K we encourage our community of learners and movers to explore their bodies in space, especially in relation to rhythm, music, problem solving, and skillful movement. In addition to learning motor and cognitive skills essential to a lifelong engagement of active living, we also develop social skills, such as empathy, teamwork, leadership, conflict resolution, and sharing, all of which are essential to fostering a community that plays together in a safe and joyous way.
