Early childhood workshops

Moving with Young Children Workshops

Moving with Young Children is a series of workshops held throughout Queensland for people who work in the early childhood sector.

The workshops focus on the importance of incorporating age-appropriate physical activity programs in early childhood environments.

The Moving with Young Children series is aimed at teachers and other staff in child care centres, kindergartens and preschools, family day care providers and coordinators.

The workshops provide a practical session that:

• explore a wide range of practical ideas on how to include physical activity into your day with young children;
• investigate suitable equipment for physical activity;
• examine how physical skill levels progress in young children; and
• increase awareness of the special considerations for some children involved in physical activity.

The workshops have been developed as part of the Queensland Government's Get Active Queensland Children and Young People strategy, which aims to help young Queenslanders reap the benefits of being physically active.
