“To the young child movement means life. Movement is an important factor in selfdiscovery; movement means discovery of the environment; movement facilitates the development of the child’s concepts of time, space and directions; movement means freedom; movement means safety; movement is an important ingredient in communication; movement is sheer enjoyment; movement means acceptance”. ~ Dr. Keturah Whitehurst
