fundamental to creating active, moving,
learning dispositions.
The Success Platform for
Active Movement

The context or setting that is created for active movement
experiences affects how the child will participate and how
that setting best serves their development. A positive and
success-orientated setting will validate and support the
child. Active Movement provides opportunities
through experiences to learn qualities that are
essential for growing up successfully in the
world of the future.
