The Kids Collab's Play Hub provides all the neccessary knowledge, tools, and resources to enhance physical education, fundamental movement skills, mindfulness and well-being in children ages 2-6 years.
"Welcome to the Kids Collab Play Hub. By dedicating regular, short periods of time each week to the Kids Collab Play Hub, users can seamlessly integrate physical activity, mindfulness, and well-being practices into their daily routines. This consistent engagement ensures that children receive the maximum benefits from the programme. Our Play Hub is designed to be user-friendly and efficient, allowing for easy navigation and quick access to appropriate content. Whether you're an educator, coach, or part of a community programme, the Kids Collab Play Hub can be seamlessly integrated into your daily activities, promoting the healthy development and well-being of children in your care." - Whitney Richardson and Rachel McMahon - Kids Collab Co-Founders
We recommend setting aside approximately 2 hours for an initial online training session for you and your team. During this session, users will gain an understanding of the Play Hub tools and resources. Once you start implementing the programme, we recommend you conduct Kids Collab activities on a daily or weekly basis. The Play Hub offers a range of activities that vary in duration from 5 minutes to 20 minutes. Users can choose the activities that best suit their needs and preferences, making it a flexible and adaptable resource.
