Not only deepen the professional knowledge of educators about the importance of outdoor physical activity for the holistic development of children by providing continuous professional support but also encourage lifelong learning. With the development of neuroscience, insights in the field of learning and teaching are rapidly evolving, which means they need to be continually updated. Therefore, it is essential to establish a system of lifelong learning. Exchange and critically evaluate examples of physical activities for implementation in various areas of the curriculum through practice. Raise awareness among parents about the importance of outdoor physical activity for the holistic development of children. If we want parents to contribute to the quality of education, we must ensure that they are not only familiar with the pedagogy and didactics applied in the preschool education and care system but also understand the reasons behind these practices. To take it a step further, we need to equip parents with the knowledge that enables them to actively participate in education, which means they urgently need to understand the methods of education and care that kindergartens provide to children in early childhood.
Need for Increasing Quality Physical Activity for Children Our main motivation for implementing the project was to provide children not just with movement, but with quality movement. We are aware of the significant positive effects of physical activity, not only on health but also on brain development and, consequently, overall development. Support for Educators As professionals, we understand the importance of approaching the development of 'movement pedagogy' systematically, starting with enabling quality training for educators and the possibility of exchanging developed practices. Only such professionals can create stimulating learning environments, which outdoor play areas certainly are. Raising Awareness Among Parents Based on professional articles and our own observations in practice, we have also found that parents are poorly informed about the positive effects of physical activity and need ideas and guidance regarding activities they can do with their children. Therefore, workshops and a manual were created, which can be used by both educators and parents. Creating Lasting Outcomes Both the manual and the play area are results designed with sustainability in mind.
