Purpose: The purpose of this study was to pilot an elementary PA curriculum (i.e., Children and Teachers [CATs] on the Move) with preschoolers to identify curricular adaptations to design a PA curriculum for preschoolers that is feasible for, and acceptable to, inclusive early childhood teachers. Methods: Focus groups were held with early childhood teachers and PA program leaders after the curriculum was used with preschoolers with and without disabilities across 13 weeks. Results: Teachers and program leaders identified changes to the program's structure, rules, activities, and the creation of enhancements to promote children's participation in the curriculum (e.g., visual supports). Discussion: Several fundamental changes were necessary for the CATs program to be feasible in early childhood classrooms. Teacher and program leader feedback led to a new curriculum (i.e., Kiddie CATs on the Move). Translation to Health Education Practice: It is crucial to choose an appropriate and inclusive PA curriculum specifically created for young children. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
