The Active Child

Our Approach

Physical activity is extremely important for children from birth to 5 years. Being active and learning fundamental movement skills is great for strengthening muscles, social skills, language and brain development. Physical activity can be taught through an abundance of experiences in early childhood, one of these being sport. Sport has a large variety of skills that can be taught to young children as well as it being lots of fun. Our service has a designated Sports Program run by Markey Sports, who come to the service weekly to allow the children to engage in their extra-curricular sports program. As an extension of this program our educators also extend upon these fundamental movement skills daily as part of their Munch and Move time.
