"Moving kids away from screens and onto their feet."

EMA engages children in actively learning about movement-based lifestyle philosophies through physical skills development fostered in a stimulating and safe environment.

About EMA

Early Movement Academy (or “Ema”), a company created to foster the development of strong bonds between children and healthy, active lifestyles, was established in 2011. The company’s inception was essentially a response to the alarming trend towards increasingly sedentary and unhealthy children dominating Canada’s youngest generation. It is well documented that the general health of the Canadian population has been decreasing over recent years. Obesity is on the rise, sedentary behaviour is the norm, and unsafe play environments are keeping kids indoors, off their feet and in front of screens.

Services

Movement is one of the greatest skills a young body posseses! Through our services, we aim to use that skill to develop healthier, stronger, and confident children.  Gaining this kind of physical confidence is known to lead to varying positive outcomes, such as emotional stability, increased self-esteem, better performance academically, and decreased behavioural problems. We believe that being aptly skilled physically makes for a much happier child both emotionally and socially. Through our services, you can give your children the gift of complete physical confidence, helping them build a lifelong love of sport and movement that will improve their quality of life in immeasurable ways.

School Programs

At Early Movement Academy we work with different school boards to offer Before and After-School Physical Activity Programs as well as MotivACTION Seminars and Workshops in schools across Ontario. Ema’s objective with these great programs is to increase the quality and quantity of physical education and to promote the maintenance of outside-class physical activity as a part of healthy lifestyle. If you would like to have our programs implemented in your school just ask the principal to send in a request on our website or contact us directly!
