At Evergreen, we are committed to health and wellbeing of all children in care. As part of our commitment we have included an ongoing Fitness Program as an addition to our Preschool program. Our Fitness program is carried out by Coach Jake. Jake is a highly qualified and experienced Fitness Coach who is passionate about developing healthy habits and mindsets in children from a young age to set them up for positive outcomes throughout life. Coach Jake attends the centre multiple times a week to implement the program that incorporates fundamental movement skills outlined by the NSW government initiative – Munch & Move. Jake also teaches children about healthy food and drink choices and encourages them to be actively involved in group sports and games. Children have opportunities to strengthen their bodies and develop their gross motor skills. The Evergreen educators also learn a lot from Coach Jake and replicate his fitness programs throughout the week.

Here are some fun activities from Coach Jake that you can try out at home for yourself...
