The Child Development Programme is an ideal
resource for nursery education
 Teachers
of children entering reception are concerned about the development of children's
gross and fine motor skills as well as lack of concentration. Including the Child
Development Programme in nursery education could help improve
matters.
In the past, children of nursery age would spend their time in activities such as
running and jumping. As well as nursery education they would interact with their
parents at home, e.g. playing in the garden, climbing frames, slides etc
Regrettably this does not happen so much so nursery education must be structured
to maximise child development. The Child Development Programme consists of structured
programmes, not only in motor but also in language, literacy and cognitive
development.
All nursery age Children (aged 3 - 5) will benefit - the programme is suitable for the development of a child of any ability.
Children
will love the 'toys and games'. The DVD guides parents and teachers through a series of
activities to work with their child.
Nursery-age children Using the Child Development Programme have made huge advances
developing
their communication skills, thinking ability and learning.

Gross motor skills - running, jumping, hopping, skipping
