Led by an early child development expert, this session will dive into the latest research on movement and brain development, provide practical strategies for integrating movement into daily routines, and discuss how to create enriching environments that foster active learning. Participants will engage in hands-on activities, explore real-world case studies, and live Q&A discussions to gain actionable insights for supporting young children's physical and holistic development.
