Every child a mover… a one day course with Jan White

Young children need active lives from birth. We increasingly understand how the body and brain develop together, reinforcing the importance of putting physical development at the heart of early childhood education. Concerns about lifestyles, health and childhood obesity have also put the spotlight on this vital issue, as have the growing number of 2 year olds entitled to receive the early education entitlement.
