Tatyana Ryupina, Senior Methodologist at the Talent and Success Educational Foundation, summed up the results of the year

Tatyana Ryupina, Senior Methodologist at the Talent and Success Educational Foundation, told how the first half of the school year went for preschoolers and preschoolers from early development groups:

"The first semester of the new school year flew by and was extremely productive and informative. Our teaching staff developed a series of teaching fairy tales and stories for gymnasts and judokas. The main goal was to foster a lasting interest in the sport the children are involved in and to create a positive example they would want to emulate. Consequently, we also strived not only for athletic success but also to cultivate the moral and willpower qualities that are essential for future champions and winners. We also developed a whole system of mathematics for the very youngest children. This system is called "structured counting." Develops children's attention, perseverance, and logical thinking."

Tatyana Ryupina also noted what skills the young gymnasts and judokas have improved during this time:

"During this semester, the children's English vocabulary increased. The teacher began reading in English with the older children. The children also learned the history of rhythmic gymnastics and judo, respectively. Our preschool department is constantly evolving, the program is improving, and our teachers are growing professionally. Young gymnasts and judok are not only improving their athletic skills, but also developing moral and volitional qualities and cognitive functions that will be essential for their future athletic and lifelong pursuits."
