We promote all aspects of individual children’s health and well-being.  Physical activity is vital for optimum growth and health.

Well-being – Goal 1: Children experience an environment where their health is promoted.

• Parents are requested to provide appropriate clothing for their children that will enable their child’s full participation in physical activity in all weathers. “There is no such thing as bead weather, only bad clothing”.
• Teachers provide children with opportunities in both the morning and afternoon for climbing, balancing, kicking, throwing, jumping, running and other loco-motor movements.
• Poutiness and programming will promote and celebrate specific physical experiences.
• Teachers and parents are encouraged to be good role models by promoting and participating in physical activity.
• Funds are available to support physical activity equipment and professional development/
• The environment will allow space and equipment, which follows children’s interests and promotes free and challenging physical experiences both indoors and out.
• Children are encouraged to move freely on their own as their capabilities and development allows.
• Natural motor development will be supported.
