About the course

This face to face training is aimed at baby/toddler room leaders. It focuses on the movement and well-being of children from 0 – 18 months looking at development and ways in which we can support and nurture not only the babies in our care, but also the physical activity and well-being of the adults who care for and educate them. Topics include:
Nurturing physical development
Physical activity guidelines
Floor play (tummy, side, and back play)
Body and movement fascinations
The senses
Crossing the midlines
Movement talks
Low stimulation movement and rest.

The Active Toddler course follows on from 18 months to 3 years and provides practitioners with opportunities to provide the toddlers in their care with whole body experiences and an environment that promotes open-ended spontaneous movement play geared to the movement needs of the individual child. Topics include:
Nurturing the physical literacy journey of toddlers
Exploring movement opportunities with toddlers at different stages of their physical literacy journey
Exploring proprioception & rolling with toddlers
Exploring crossing the midline & why crawling is still an important act for toddlers
Exploring the vestibular system by stepping up and down & kicking.
