ELDS Webinar # 5: Health and Physical Development

Part of the Early Learning and Development Standards (ELDS) Exploration Webinar Series

MAY 13, 2025

Health and Physical Development

Young children are developing their large muscle motor movements, refining their small muscle strength and coordination, and participating in routines of self-care, health, safety, rest, and physical activity. By being thoughtful in providing individualized supports, educators can help lay the foundation for children to learn through interaction with their surroundings and have healthy lifestyles.

Explore ways you can support learning through the senses and foster children’s motor skills, physical health, and self-care.

The Early Learning and Development Standards (ELDS) Exploration Webinar Series is created by the The Virginia Department of Education in partnership with the University of Virginia’s ECE Resource Hub.
