About

This immersive training day explores the crucial role of movement in the cognitive, physical, and emotional development of young children. Grounded in the latest research, participants will examine how early movement experiences lay the foundations for brain development, communication skills, and emotional regulation.

Through interactive sessions, we will delve into:

The science behind sensory and motor development in the first few years of life -including the role of primitive reflexes
Practical strategies to create movement-rich environments that nurture curiosity and exploration.
The link between physical activity, neural pathways, and learning readiness.
Simple, inclusive activities that support vestibular, interoceptive and proprioceptive development.

Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of why movement matters most in the earliest years of life and a toolkit of practical ideas to integrate into daily practice, empowering toddlers and pre-schoolers to thrive through active, playful learning.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
