developt Pediatric Physical Therapy

🌷 Holiday Hours Update 🌷

developt will be closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday.

We believe time with family is important, and our team will be taking the long weekend to rest and spend time with loved ones.

Wishing all of our developt families a wonderful Easter weekend! 💛

Today we’re wearing purple for epilepsy awareness. 💜

Purple Day is about education, compassion, and supporting individuals and families living with epilepsy. Many children and adults navigate seizures that others may never see — and awareness helps create safer, more understanding communities.

Movement, confidence, and inclusion look different for every child, and that’s something worth celebrating. Join us by wearing purple today and helping spread awareness, acceptance, and encouragement one step at a time.

Why is Physical Literacy Important? 🌱
Physical literacy is a key foundation for a child’s overall development. It goes far beyond sports — it helps children build the confidence, skills, and motivation they need to be active participants in everyday life.
When children develop physical literacy, they are more likely to enjoy movement, stay active, and carry healthy habits with them into adolescence and adulthood.
Why it matters:
• Supports children in being active and enjoying movement
• Can improve academic performance and cognitive development
• Strengthens mental wellness and emotional regulation
• Builds social skills, teamwork, and communication
• Encourages lifelong healthy lifestyle habits
The role of active play:
Active play is how physical literacy grows. Through unstructured and structured play, children explore movement naturally and build essential skills without pressure or comparison. Physical literacy becomes part of everyday life — not just something that happens in sports or gym class.
Building blocks of movement:
Learning basic movement skills such as running, jumping, kicking, throwing, catching, and balancing creates the foundation for all physical activity. These skills help children feel capable and confident participating in many different activities and environments.
Physical literacy supports the development of healthy bodies, confident minds, and the ability to make active choices throughout life. It’s about helping children move with confidence, competence, and joy — today and for years to come. 💛
