Early Childhood Movement Program

An 8-Week Intervention for Post-Pandemic Development

Early childhood educators across Australia are noticing concerning changes in their youngest learners. Children who would typically be running, jumping, and engaging confidently with peers are instead showing hesitation in movement, anxiety in social situations, and delays in basic developmental skills.

The impact of recent global events has created a perfect storm in early childhood development. Extended periods of isolation, reduced play opportunities, and increased screen time have left many children struggling with the fundamental movement skills that form the foundation for learning and development.

Working directly in early childhood settings, I watched this challenge unfold. Educators were sharing their concerns: children struggling to maintain core strength during story time, showing anxiety during physical play, and lacking the fundamental movement skills needed for school readiness.

Are These Your Early Learning Challenges?

• Children struggling with basic developmental milestones
• Increased anxiety and dysregulation in young learners

8-Week Program Structure

Our program guides children through three essential phases of development, each building upon the last:

Weeks 1-3: Building Strong Foundations We begin where children are, rebuilding the core stability and basic movement patterns that may have been impacted by reduced physical play opportunities. Through playful activities that fit naturally into your daily routine, children rediscover their bodies' capabilities in a safe, supported way.

Weeks 4-6: Growing Confidence As children's physical confidence grows, we introduce activities that challenge their developing skills while supporting social connection. Watch as previously hesitant children begin to engage more confidently with peers, tackle physical challenges with enthusiasm, and show greater regulation in their daily activities.

Weeks 7-8: Preparing for Success The final weeks focus on integrating these new skills into more complex movement patterns and group activities, preparing children for the physical and social demands of school. Parents become active partners in this journey, ensuring skills transfer to home life.

Phase 1: Foundation Building (Weeks 1-3)

• Core stability development
• Basic movement patterns
• Body awareness activities
• Sensory integration support

Phase 2: Skill Development (Weeks 4-6)

• Social movement games
• Balance and coordination
• Spatial awareness activities
• Emotional regulation through movement

Phase 3: Integration (Weeks 7-8)

• Complex movement patterns
• Group games and activities
• School readiness skills
• Parent involvement strategies
