Healthy eating and physical play.
In today's fast-paced world, instilling healthy habits in children from a young age is crucial. BestStart promotes healthy eating and physical activity, as it sets the foundation for a lifetime of well-being. By encouraging nutritious meals and an active lifestyle, we can help children develop healthy habits that will benefit them both now and in the future. Healthy Eating: Healthy eating is vital for the growth and development of preschoolers. By providing nutritious meals and snacks, we ensure that children receive the essential nutrients they need.
Incorporating a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into their diets helps support their physical and cognitive development. Moreover, a balanced diet helps strengthen their immune system and reduces the risk of chronic diseases later in life. Physical Activity: Engaging in active play not only helps children build strong muscles and bones but also enhances their motor skills, coordination, and overall physical fitness. Physical activity also promotes brain development and improves cognitive functions, such as attention span and problem-solving abilities.
Here at Beststart Papamoa Plaza we provide ample opportunities for active play both indoors and outdoors. Structured activities, such as dancing, obstacle courses, and sports, can be incorporated into the curriculum. Unstructured playtime, such as free play in the playground or open-ended movement activities, allows children to explore their creativity and imagination while keeping their bodies active.
