Concept
Leaps and Bounds was conceived to fulfil a demand from both Pre-school settings and Parents for a movement and physical development programme.
Researched and developed over a two year period, with expert Patricia Maude MBE, Homerton College, Cambridge University. Leaps and Bounds underpins the framework of the Early Years Foundation Stage.
It is a progressive physical and movement programme for children from walking up to five years. Designed to complement the indoor and outdoor physical activities currently provided in Pre-School Settings.
Children are encouraged through a sequence of tasks to develop skills including: locomotion, agility, balance, climbing, co-ordination and language development through the use of action songs and rhymes.
In 2006 Leaps and Bounds was awarded a Kite Mark by Professional Development Board of Physical Education (PDB). This kitemark is a quality endorsement recognised by DCSF.
