Foundations – Physical Health and Growth

Early childhood is the time for a child to develop an active and healthy lifestyle. The development of these skills must be taught and encouraged by a caregiver/teacher. As young children move their bodies they are learning many different concepts and skills that they will carry with them throughout their life. We will discuss the different foundations that you find in the Physical Health and Growth section of the Indiana Foundations document and how you can use them to effectively plan for the children in your care.
