A Licensed Psychologist is currently working with Backyard Games of America to develop and implement a program that will adapt as the children we support ags. The program will enlist parents' participation from birth to the age of five. Our Psychologist and team have designed a regimen identifying where the participating child SHOULD be every year up to the age of five. Primary focus areas will be physical (nutrition and fitness), emotional, social, and moral.
