The aim of this course is to introduce a yoga programme that is suitable for all young children and can be delivered by educators in an early years setting. This way; it has the potential to become part of their daily routine; becoming embedded as an effective way of promoting healthy choices and developing a love of physical exercise; as referred to in the learning and development outcomes of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
The Early Years Alliance is the largest and most representative early years membership organisation in England. We support early years providers to deliver quality, affordable and sustainable care and learning to families, and work to ensure that all children, regardless of background, are given the best possible start in life. The Alliance’s vision is a society where every child enjoys the same opportunity to learn through play. We believe families should be at the centre of policy-making and parents empowered to become more involved with their child’s learning and development.
