Physical Activity. Our center has a large indoor activity space as well as a fenced outdoor space for physical activity. All children are encouraged to participate in physical activity every day. Times for physical activity are posted in each classroom on the daily schedule. At least 30 minutes of physical activity is planned each day. Our center recognizes that screen time should be limited. Therefore, screen time is permitted for children older than two only with written permission of parents and is limited to one hour per day, except for special occasions. Children younger than two shall not use screen time. Our center uses a screen time/device policy that is the same as the policy used by the Brandywine School District and is posted in the classrooms of the Before/After students. A copy of this policy is available to parents at any time.
Physical Activity. The qualities of physical fitness and health enhance the students’ welfare and academic achievement. Each child is encouraged to rise to his/her individual physical potential. Movement activities, dance and other forms of creative physical expression are infused into the everyday curriculum as well as meaningful work through the garden and farm lessons. To the greatest extent possible, classrooms and play yard space are organized to maximize the children’s opportunities for movement. Parent participation is a keystone of our program. A significant body of research indicates that when parents participate in their children’s education, the result is an increase in student achievement and satisfaction. Increased attendance, fewer discipline problems and higher aspirations have all been correlated with successful parent involvement. Active parents strengthen the school on many levels. As a charter school the individual skills, talents and interests of the parent body are resources which the school depends on. Additionally, strong partnerships with parents bring greater meaning and purpose to education by integrating the children’s school life into their family life and into their community. Successful parent involvement requires ongoing parent education. Parents organize and attend lectures, book talks, support groups, school festivals and class meetings-all of which focus on child development as well as specific aspects of the educational program. The school community is further connected through optional seasonal programs and festivals.

4.1 Instruction on how to perform behavior had the highest pooled effect size (g¯ = 0.42, 95% CI 0.32–0.53). Interventions delivered in community or home settings but not in- cluding 4.1 Instruction on how to perform behavior had a pooled effect size in the middle of the other subgroups (g¯ = 0.21, 95% CI 0.02 − 0.40). All of the interventions delivered in community or home settings applied either both 4.1 Instruction on how to perform behavior and 8.1 Behavioral practice /rehearsal or neither, none included just one. In the FE subgroup meta-analysis, subgroups were significantly different from each other (between-subgroups Q-statistic = 43.18, p < .001). Figure 5.6 displays this visually.

Physical Activity. District schools shall strive to provide opportunities for developmentally appropriate physical activity during the school day for all students. • District schools shall contribute to the effort to provide students opportunities to accumulate at least sixty (60) minutes of age appropriate physical activity on all or most days of the week. That time will include physical activity outside the school environment, such as outdoor play at home, sports, etc. • Age appropriate physical activity opportunities, such as recess; before and after school; during lunch; clubs; intramurals; and interscholastic athletics, shall be provided to meet the needs and interests of all students, in addition to planned physical education. • Extended periods of student inactivity, two (2) hours or more, shall be discouraged. • Physical activity breaks shall be provided for elementary students during classroom hours. • After-school programs shall provide developmentally appropriate physical activity for participating children. • Physical activity shall not be used as a form of punishment. • Quality physical education instruction that promotes lifelong physical activity and provides instruction in the skills and knowledge necessary for lifelong participation shall be provided. • Physical education classes shall be the means through which all students learn, practice and are assessed on developmentally appropriate skills and knowledge necessary for lifelong, health- enhancing physical activity. • A varied and comprehensive curriculum that leads to students becoming and remaining physically active for a lifetime shall be provided in the physical education program. • A sequential physical education program consistent with State Board of Education curriculum regulations and Health, Safety, and Physical Education academic standards shall be developed and implemented. • Safe and adequate equipment, facilities and resources shall be provided for physical education courses. • Physical education shall be taught by certified health and physical education teachers. Appropriate professional development shall be provided for physical education staff. • Physical activity shall not be used as a form of punishment.
Physical Activity. Research shows that being physically active benefits just about everyone: individuals of all ages and with or without chronic condi- tions or disabilities. Physical activity not only promotes health and reduces the risk of chronic diseases, but also improves sleep, perceived quality of life, and cognitive func- tioning, for example attention, memory, and processing speed. Weekly targets for recommended aerobic and muscle-strengthening physical activity for working age population are shown in Figure 5. Nevertheless, all movement that reduces or interrupts sedentary time is val- uable. Beneficial health effects can be at- tained for example by interrupting sitting with short periods of standing, moving around a bit, or light physical activity. Working environment and workplace policies can encourage physical activity that aids employ- ees to reach their weekly targets and to recover from work-related stress. Short physical activ- ity bouts can be incorporated into the operations of the workplace, and within employees’ daily work routines. This section provides examples how. Figure 5. Physical activity recommendations for working age population.
Physical Activity. BHCC will • Lead the Healthy City Partnership and Healthy Weight Programme Board and the work of the relevant sub groups; • Commission a range of physical activity programmes and services to which patients can be referred; • Promote equity of access to physical activity programmes so that services are accessible and reduce inequalities; • Work with the CCG to ensure that physical activity support is built into care pathways. BHCCG will • Encourage primary care practitioners to routinely identify and refer patients who are leading physically inactive lifestyles. In particular, encourage referral of adults who are inactive to the to the Zesters exercise referral scheme or to the Health Trainers service • Take advice from Public Health on how services can be commissioned to maximise the impact on physical inactivity, reduce inequalities, and build physical activity support into care pathways; • Provide information on physical activity referrals within commissioned services, and physical activity/inactivity data from within primary care.
Physical Activity. The children will be introduced to structured and unstructured physical activity daily. Structured physical activity is a goal-oriented play, generally involving using logic to solve problems, while unstructured play, or free play is creative and open-ended. Examples of structured play include Tag, Red Rover, Soccer, etc. Unstructured play included block building, crafting that is not led by an adult , running around,etc. Please see the lesson plan for details. · Parents are required to notify us by 9 am if their child will not be coming for the day. · Parents are required to keep us informed of any change in addresses, telephone numbers, and other pertinent information. · Parents are required to inform us if they are at any other location than what is listed on their Enrollment Record and to provide a telephone number for that place. · No smoking is allowed on premises. · The daycare home will have a fire/earthquake drill at once a month. A Shelter in Place drill must take place twice a year. · The provider will promptly report to the proper authorities any sign of neglect or abuse of the children in care. · The parent is to park in the driveway. · Parents are encouraged to call us at any time during the day or evening.
