Guidelines call for a minimum of 30 minutes of daily structured physical play for toddlers and 1 hour for preschoolers. www.aahperd.org/NASPE/

Studies suggest that early and carefully planned movement experiences help to enhance child development such as cognitive, social, and emotional attributes.(Hannaford, 1995; Gabbard, 1998; COPEC, 2000; Bredekamp, 1997).

Providing safe challenges for toddlers can prevent toddlers from creating their own challenges that may not be safe.Qued’s Tike Site is the answer to providing a safely arranged space through which toddlers can discover and explore movement.
