Children six years old and younger will be thrilled to find out that Fast Feet will be back at the Baytex Field House in Peace River on Jan. 13.
The Fast Feet program was introduced to provide fun and education at the Baytex Energy Centre every Tuesday and helps to provide an activity for parents to do with their small children, especially in the cold months.
“Fast Feet runs in two eight-week sessions throughout the year,” says Town of Peace River recreation coordinator Taylor Bak.
“It is hosted every Tuesday in these eight-week sessions from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m.”
The eight-week session will last until March 31 and will help to provide some energy-burning fun inside a warm building, instead of out in the snowy abyss.
“The Town of Peace River Recreation partners with the Family Resource Network to provide a free gross motor program for children ages 0-6 years old,” she says.
“We set up a ton of toys and equipment for young children to play, explore, climb, and have fun.”
The program is developed with a variety of stations for children to learn how to balance, climb, and play.
“We have an open, inclusive, fun, and facilitated environment that will allow their child to have a safe and successful play time,” says Bak.
“Typically, most of the children participate but we also recognize that it may take time to get comfortable with the new environment. We encourage all caregivers and their children to go at their own pace until they’re comfortable,” she adds.
If you would like to bring your child to the program, it is held in the first court in the fieldhouse at the Baytex Energy Centre.
