Butte Head Start Staff

I Am Moving, I Am Learning Project reinforces the importance of the mind-body connection and the relationship between physical fitness and early learning. These sessions will provide participants with strategies and resources for infusing quality physical movement and healthy nutrition choices within their familiar curriculum approaches and daily classroom routines. The research-based project is designed to support existing classroom practices.
The overarching goals of I Am Moving, I Am Learning are to:

• Increase the quantity of time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) during the daily routine to meet national guidelines for physical activity;
• Improve the quality of structured movement experiences intentionally facilitated by teachers and adults;
• Improve healthy nutrition choices for children every day.
