Move the Body
Active bodies, active minds
At Move Early Learning, we believe movement is an essential part of every child’s growth, confidence and wellbeing. Through active play, outdoor exploration and purposeful movement experiences, children are encouraged to discover what their bodies can do, develop new skills and enjoy the freedom of being active.
From climbing on sustainable playground equipment and exploring our outdoor spaces to yoga, dance and movement activities, children are supported to move, challenge themselves and grow at their own pace in a safe and nurturing environment.

How we Move the Body
Physical development
Movement provides children with the foundation to build strength, coordination and confidence in their growing bodies. Through active experiences, children develop:
- Gross motor skills through running, jumping, climbing, balancing and active outdoor play.
- Fine motor skills through activities that strengthen coordination, control and precision.
- Strength, fitness and healthy movement habits that support lifelong wellbeing.
Cognitive growth
An active body helps support an active mind. Through movement experiences, children develop:
- Focus, memory and problem-solving skills through physical challenges and exploration.
- Spatial awareness and body coordination as they understand how their bodies move through different environments.
- Creativity and imagination through dance, movement games and open-ended play.
Emotional wellbeing
Movement helps children feel capable, confident and connected. Through active experiences, children learn to:
- Build confidence and celebrate achievements as they develop new skills.
- Express emotions in positive ways through physical activity and play.
- Develop resilience and persistence when trying new challenges.
Social skills and teamwork
Movement creates opportunities for children to connect, collaborate and build friendships. Through group activities, children learn to:
- Share, cooperate and take turns.
- Communicate and work together with others.
- Develop positive relationships and a strong sense of belonging.
Independence and self-worth
We encourage children to explore movement with confidence while learning to make safe choices. Through active experiences, children develop:
