-to promote physical fitness

-to establish daily physical activity as a routine part of a healthy lifestyle

Why and what?

The daily program shall include at least 30 minutes of physical activity that promotes physical fitness.

Outdoor play is important in daycares. Children get to spend time outside for their well-being and to receive free space rather than keeping them inside. They can feel refreshed in their minds and bodies after playing outdoors.

-have 2-3 classes go play outside and form a big circle to play some games

-teach them outdoor activities such as baseball

-get them to connect to nature like the nuna, snow or sand to play sensory based play.

It is important to communicate with parents about how the child is doing at home, did they sleep good? Did they eat before coming here? And communicate when they get picked up. Tell them how the day went at the daycare with them. As a parent you can even asked to see log book about how your child is doing at daycare.

• invite parents for a play day at daycare,( could be on a weekend) and have teal and snacks. To get to know each other better.

• Set up a date to have a chat, (can be 1-1 thing) have parent sing a song or read a book to children.
