Key Points
n
n
nPosted on January 31, 2020
n
n
n
n
nThe thing is, we don’t want little kids, including kids who attend day care / nursery school / pre-school, to worry about their bodies being attractive or unattractive, chubby or skinny, too this or too that. That’s definitely not what this holiday is all about.
n
n
n
nBut we DO want to start kids off on the right foot as far as nutrition, exercise, hygiene, and other physical-body-related habits and attitudes go!
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nThe last Friday of January has been set aside to focus on the fitness “fitness” of day cares and pre-schools, nursery schools and play schools and pre-K classes. Are the snacks being served are nutritious?
n
n
n
n
nDoes each day include a lot of active play? Can kids use the bathroom facilities whenever they need to? Are the outdoor as well as indoor areas safe and fun?
n
n
n
n
n
nThe BEST thing for little kids is lots of supervised free time, but of course there are going to be some adult-led activities. Hopefully some of these are active as well – hoop play, parachute play, scarf play, ball play! How fun!
