It is recommended that the center promote children’s active play every day. Children should have ample opportunity to do vigorous activities such as running, climbing, dancing, skipping, and jumping. This could include two or three occasions of active play outdoors each day, weather permitting; two or more structured or adult-led activities or games that promote movement over the course of the day in both indoor and outdoor settings; opportunities during transitions to use movement skills such as hopping like a bunny to the bathroom; and continuous opportunities to develop and practice age-appropriate gross motor and movement skills.
