About Us

Welcome to LetsMove

LetsMove was founded by Laura, a primary school teacher and mum to an energetic preschooler who saw a need for a fun and non-competitive movement skills class for young children. At LetsMove we believe in the importance of developing Fundamental Movement Skills in preschool aged children. Our classes are specifically designed for children aged between 3-5 years old, with a focus on learning new skills in a fun and inclusive environment. LetsMove strives to promote physical literacy in young children.

Our Classes

Our 35 minute sessions take place on Saturdays in 6 week blocks. Classes are located in St. Mary's NS, Waterpark, Carrigaline, Co. Cork. These fun filled sessions have a limited number of places. 

They are designed to enhance, encourage and improve your child's Movement Skills.  

Introduction to basic movement skills

Introduction to basic movement skills is a fundamental step towards developing overall physical literacy and a foundation for future physical activity. Starting with running, jumping, hopping, throwing and catching. 

Age-appropriate games and exercises

Age-appropriate games and exercises are important for promoting physical, cognitive, and social development in children and ensuring they have a positive and enjoyable experience.  Games such as Jelly Beans, Teddy Bears' Picnic and Animal Freeze Dance are just some of the games we play.

Development of gross motor skills

The development of gross motor skills is a crucial aspect of childhood development, as it allows children to develop strength, coordination, and control over their larger muscle groups.


Group activities to encourage social interaction

Group activities can foster social interaction and promote a sense of community amongst children.

Coordination and balance activities

Coordination and balance activities are important for improving overall physical control and stability.


Guidance on proper warm-up and cool-down techniques

Guidance on proper warm-up and cool-down techniques can help keep children injury free. 

Our Mission

At LetsMove, we believe that every child should have the opportunity to develop Fundamental Movement Skills in a fun and non-competitive environment. As a primary school teacher, I have seen the importance of these skills in a child's overall development and self-confidence. Our Movement Skills class is specifically designed for children aged 3-5 years old, as this is a crucial stage in their physical development. Each child must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the class.

  • Introduction to basic movement skills: This class will cover Fundamental Movement Skills such as running, jumping, throwing and catching, to help children develop their physical coordination and confidence.
  • Play-based learning: The class will be designed to be fun and engaging, using games and activities to teach the skills. This approach promotes a non-competitive and inclusive environment, making it suitable for all children with no particular emphasis on any one sport. 
  • Experienced teacher: The class will be run by a primary school teacher who has experience in teaching Infant classes with an specific interest in promoting motor skills
