Why is outdoor play so important in the early years?

Outdoor play gives children more advanced motor skills than their “indoor” peers, including co-ordination, balance and agility. Children who grow up playing outdoors with less “screen time” from as young an age as possible, grow up more physically active, curious, resilient and independent.

Encouraging children to spend time outdoors and away from technology aids physical wellbeing and improves emotional and intellectual health.

These good habits last a lifetime!
