"Physical development sits at the heart of well being, learning and development - and it creates school readiness." - Jan White
ECAT- Every Child a Talker
Every Child a Talker (ECAT) is designed to help practitioners and parents create a developmentally appropriate, supportive and stimulating environment in which children can enjoy experimenting with and learning language. Through everyday, fun and interesting experiences which reflect children’s interests, ECAT encourages early language development right from the outset, extending children’s vocabulary so that before they start school, children are confident and skilled communicators.
ECAM- Every Child a Mover
Every Child a Mover(ECAM) helps us look at our outdoor and indoor environment with new eyes, and find ways to provide rich opportunities for your children to develop their full potential. Children develop through moving, particularly outdoors. Everything from balance and coordination to eyesight, handwriting, emotional development and "school readiness" is informed by the amount of physical activity a child engages in.
