Your child needs to move and Kith&Kin offers an environment to support this need, encourage concentration, maximise positive social interaction, and refine their fine-motor skills. As your child works on strengthening their muscles, you will have the opportunity to engage with other parents and learn tips, tricks, and techniques from your Montessori guide to bring this practice home.
