MOCO Movement Center

MOCO Movement Center MOCO strives to keep the environments as fun and natural to each participant as what they would choose to do during their own free time.

https://linktr.ee/mocomovementcenter We have so many different services to offer! Applied Functional Therapy™
MOCO Movement Center takes pediatric therapy (Occupational, Physical, and Speech) out of the clinic and into the real world. With a synthetic ice rink, climbing wall, obstacle courses and professional musical studio, our modern facility has something for everyone! Movement & Play-Based Classes

Our classes build strength, coordination, balance, and confidence through purposeful play. Children explore obstacle courses, climbing elements, balance challenges, trampolines, and suspended equipment — all designed to support physical and developmental growth in a fun, supportive environment. Classes include:
• Caregiver–child classes
• Preschool and school-age movement classes
• Gymnastics foundations
• Infant Massage

Skill Builders Programs

Skill Builders are small-group programs focused on developing specific functional, social, and motor skills in a structured yet playful setting. These programs bridge the gap between therapy and recreation with clear goals and real-world application. Current & upcoming Skill Builders include: (Launching 2026)
• Recess Ready: Four Square: building playground confidence, game skills, turn-taking, and peer interaction
• Skill Builders: Get Crafty: supporting fine motor skills, planning, creativity, and task completion
• Skill Builders: Agility Academy: focused on speed, coordination, body control, and athletic readiness

Learn-to-Ride Bike Intensives

MOCO’s Bike Riding Intensives use a proven balance-first approach to help children learn to ride independently. Programs are individualized, confidence-building, and led by experienced staff who understand motor learning and child development. Summer Adventure Program

Our half-day Summer Adventure Program for children ages 5-10 blends movement, obstacle courses, cooperative games, and themed activities in MOCO’s dynamic facility. Small groups and intentional programming support strength, coordination, confidence, and social engagement, all while having fun. Caregiver Education & Community Programs

We also offer caregiver education sessions, workshops, and community-based programming designed to support families beyond traditional therapy and classes.

THIS is why therapy matters 💚
Every child’s journey looks different, but the goal is the same:
Confidence, independence, and joy in movement. 💚

Communication begins long before children say their first words.

Eye contact, gestures, pointing, and babbling are all important early communication skills.

Speech therapy can help support these early building blocks through play and interaction.

Morning therapy times available.

🚲 Day 1 of Bike Intensive… and the magic already starts.

Most kids don’t need more pedaling practice.
They need balance, confidence, and the right approach.

At MOCO, we:
✨ Start with balance (no training wheels)
✨ Use lightweight bikes that kids can control
✨ Build confidence first—then add pedaling
And the best part?

Parents learn exactly how to support their child at home 🙌

This is just Day 1… imagine what happens by Day 5 👀

👉 Spots are filling for upcoming weeks

"How do you play with a scooter? 🛴

At MOCO, this is one of the most requested item in our gym.

Kids think they’re just racing and having fun…
but we’re building BIG skills underneath it all 👇

• Core strength
• Upper body strength
• Coordination
• Motor planning
• Endurance

And then we layer in even more 👇
➡️ following directions
➡️ problem solving
➡️ turn taking
➡️ expressive language

Because when the body is moving… the brain is ready to learn.

✨ That’s the MOCO difference, therapy that looks like play"

Spring is HERE 🌸 which means… it’s time to dust off those bikes! 🚲

Before your child hops on, take a few minutes to:
✔️ Check tires
✔️ Test brakes
✔️ Make sure the helmet fits

These small steps make a BIG difference in helping kids feel safe, confident, and ready to ride.

And if your child isn’t quite there yet, we’re here to help 💚
Our Bike Intensive focuses on building balance, confidence, and independence step-by-step.

There’s nothing better than seeing a child light up when they realize… “I can do this.” ✨

Build It. Create It. Strengthen It.

We’re opening a small Skill Builders group at MOCO, and we have just 2 spots left.

This isn’t therapy.
But it is thoughtfully designed with input from our OT team to support real skill development through play.

This isn’t just crafts.
It’s hands-on building designed to strengthen:
✔️ fine motor skills
✔️ hand strength & coordination
✔️ focus + problem solving
✔️ confidence in real tasks (cutting, fastening, creating)

Kids will work on projects like:
🛠️ building structures
🎨 hands-on art + design
🧵 multi-step creations they’re proud to take home

All in a small group with support, so each child can succeed. This skill builder class was

✨ Best fit for kids who:
• struggle with fine motor skills
• avoid writing/crafts
• need confidence using their hands
• benefit from structured, guided play

📅 Starts soon
👥 Only 2 spots left
