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.
