Casa Primary
Motor Movement (PT) Motor Movement at Casa Primary is a guided physical development class designed to support infants and young children in building strength, coordination, and confidence as they learn to navigate their environment. Led by trained physical therapists from Downtown Kids Therapy, the class focuses on developing age-appropriate gross motor skills through intentional, play-based movement. Children are supported in reaching key milestones—rolling, crawling, standing, walking, and beyond—within a safe, thoughtfully prepared environment. Therapists observe each child’s movement patterns, offering gentle guidance and individualized support to strengthen areas of need while encouraging independence. Rooted in both clinical expertise and playful exploration, Motor Movement helps children build the physical foundation for confident movement, active play, and everyday participation in a loving, playful and anti-stigma environment.
