Whole-child Health for Toddlers in Daycares & Preschools
It’s easier to help children develop healthy habits at a younger age than it is to change unhealthy behaviors later in life. In terms of healthy physical activity, toddlers (ages 3-5) should be engaged for at least 60 minutes a day. That’s where The Daily Mile comes in.
The Daily Mile is a life-changing opportunity for children and the adults who lead them. It is a solution to healthier, happier, more engaged students! The Daily Mile is a whole-child movement that takes kids outdoors to run, jog, roll or walk for 15-minutes each day. But it’s so much more than that. Created by an elementary school principal and her students, it is proven, effective, and sustainable. The Daily Mile is free for your school family … forever. Watch the video above to learn more!
