Active Toddler

The Active Toddler course follows on from 18 months to 3 years and provides practitioners with opportunities to provide the toddlers in their care with whole body experiences and an environment that promotes open-ended spontaneous movement play geared to the movement needs of the individual child. It aims to focus the practitioner to observe, tune in, feel movement, and respond in stage appropriate ways enabling them to facilitate opportunities throughout the day.

The course will take part in two hours face to face.
