Physical Literacy: Let’s Get Moving!

In order to support the overall well-being of a child, the implementation of physical literacy must be viewed as a non-negotiable, daily and vital component of programming in childcare programs. However, for many educators, this can seem like an overwhelming and daunting requirement in their classroom.

Join us as we break down the basics of physical literacy and then make the learning tangible through a variety of hands-on, team building, body moving activities.

During this workshop we will explore:

The definition of physical literacy and its importance for children.
Its impact on the 5 basic developmental domains.
How physical literacy is a complete and constant support of motivation, competence and confidence for children.
Practical digital resources to use the next day at your program and get the children (and the educators!) moving, all the while building relationships.
An understanding towards that, as educators, we are obligated to support children towards life-long connections to physical literacy.
Why the elimination or minimization of screen times is vital for overall healthy development.
