What if children had the option to get outdoors, and move their bodies to enable them to playfully learn? In today’s episode, we have Author Rae Pica who has penned many books on the importance of movement in early childhood development. In her book, “Preschoolers & Kindergarteners Moving and Learning,” she provides more than 80 developmentally appropriate movement and music activities that contribute to a well-rounded curriculum in any classroom program. Come listen to our lively discussion about the who, what, where how, and when to take these music and movement lessons outdoors.
