From the ages of two to five, preschoolers reach developmental milestones with endless energy and increasing physical coordination. This detailed, entertaining and informative look into the world of preschoolers shows them engaged in activities that exemplify the extraordinary physical advancements that children make at this age. Teachers and caregivers also share their first-hand observations of how this development takes place.
Viewers will learn the physical characteristics of preschoolers, how gross and fine motor skills are developed and the physical milestones that most children reach during this stage. We also take a look at the natural activities children are drawn to which help their physical development and strategies to encourage these activities. This film also covers the physical challenges that some children have, activity modifications to help children with physical challenges and why good nutrition and the proper amount of sleep are crucial at this age.
