About
PALS is a series of learning sessions focused on physical activity. PALS sessions examine eight best practices areas for physical activity and address the challenges early care and education (ECE) professionals face in supporting active play. The PALS sessions will help you use best practices throughout your day to give children the best physical activity experiences. PALS content includes:
•How to support physical development in young children
•Your role as an ECE professional
•How to communicate with families about the best practices for physical activity
Training activity breaks provide ideas for active play in the classroom and group discussions promote learning from peers. During the interactive sessions, participants consider their classroom practices and environments and then develop an action plan to get kids moving!
