Kindy Kids get physical

Oct 2010

More than 300 Gold Coast children aged 3-5 years are getting healthy and active, as part of the Healthy Active Kindy exercise program run by personal trainers at 10 local childcare centres. Healthy Life Clinic Director Marco Renai said the program aimed to improve coordination, enhance balance, teach team work and reinforce the importance of being active from a very young age. Kids enjoyed playing with hula hoops, soft balls and doing simple activities. Childcare director Renee Berry said the children absolutely loved it. “We were hearing children talk about how they play sport on their WII games, but now we see them playing the games they learn in the playground,” Ms Berry said.
