Children Under 5

Children learn through play, movement and experiences.

Children are born to move and in their early stages they have a desire to move and learn about themselves and their relationship to the environment in which they live. Movement is the basis of who we are today because it develops and strengthens the body and brain as we grow through childhood.

We may not realise it but almost every movement and activity your children do are preparing them for the rest of their lives. And who can complain when they have so much fun doing them!

Sport Wanganui and Active Movement

Sport Wanganui’s goal in Early Childhood is to:

Work closely with Plunket parent groups and Early Childhood Centres to promote, educate and support the importance of movement experiences for all children under 5 to grow and to become New Zealand's most successful sporting and physically active community.
