This programme was designed by the Irish Heart Foundation, Early Childhood Ireland and Dublin City University.

Kids Active has been designed with the Aistear Curriculum Framework in mind and contains a resource of activity cards and posters of characters to demonstrate each fundamental movement skill. If you would like to be more confident and effective in supporting children’s physical development, health and well-being this half-day/one day) training programme can help.
