For Parents
Children learn through play, and they learn best when learning is active. LEAP BC™ family resources encourage families to spend time together playing and learning in an active way.
The LEAP BC™ family resources provide parents and caregivers with ideas for simple and fun activities that integrate literacy, physical activity and healthy eating.
The activities are easy to follow and can be done indoors or outdoors, with minimal or no equipment. When equipment is required, everyday household items are transformed into objects like bean bags, stilts or musical instruments.
The following family resources will be available across the province for free beginning in early 2008:
Move with Me from Birth to Three (MOVE), for families with children from birth to three years of age.
Healthy Opportunities for Preschoolers (HOP), for families with children between 3-5 years of age.
