Calling all early childhood educators and parents of young children aged 3-6 years.Come along to this fun, interactive workshop to learn about the Animal Fun program designed by physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and psychologists from Curtin University.

The Animal Fun program helps children to become more confident in their motor skills and social skills within an imaginary play space. Evidence based and meeting EYLF, NQS and the Australian Curriculum for HPE (Foundation), Animal Fun ticks all the boxes.

Research shows that children also improve attentiveness and behaviour when they have well developed motor and social skills. It's a simple and easy-to-follow program that you will feel confident to implement at the completion of this workshop.

St Finn Barr's Catholic Primary School have kindly offered to host this workshop - but it is open to any early childhood educator, parent/caregiver or allied health professional who is interested in learning more about the latest research linking motor development with a child's ability to learn.

Don't take my word for it...here is what others have to say.

"Absolutely, hands down, the only motor program I recommend for the early years. Easy to implement as well as evidence based. Programs such as Animal Fun are vital to future academic success, physical health and mental wellbeing".

Berry Johnston, Occupational Therapist, Lil Peeps OT For Kids.

Animal Fun has certainly lived up to its very high expectations! Our Professional Learning experience with Sue was engaging, practical and as fun for the adults as it is for the children. Not only is Animal Fun evidence based, it is easy to use and embed into classroom routines. I would highly recommend Animal Fun to schools looking to support (or extend!) their youngest students perceptual motor skills."
