2.7 Case Study Nurturing active children using provisions from home Resources brought in from home can help support children's learning and also assist in building self esteem. Children will feel that they are valuable contributors to the emerging curriculum. A family hobby can spark great interest within the child care setting. This family favourite past time is water skiing and biskitting. As the children happily demonstrate their water skiing ability and discuss their hobby, they impart valuable information to their peers. The topics covered in their discussions include balance, strength, turn taking, vocabulary extension, safety and much more. This builds their self esteem and confidence. This simple display enables staff to experience the child in a family context while it gives the parents and children an opportunity to contribute to the emerging curriculum.

Evaluation Evaluating your polices and practices is important to allow you to find out if they are having the intended effect, if they are having any unintended effects (good or bad) and to provide you with information to further refine or improve them. As shown in the diagram below, evaluation is an ongoing process aimed at ongoing service improvement. The National Childcare Accreditation Council states that programs should be evaluated regularly to meet accreditation standards 13 . When evaluating your service's physical activity policies and practices, you can gather information about how they are working and how they could be improved through: • Staff feedback • Parent feedback • Child feedback and/or observation (see Section Three for ways on how to monitor) • Whether the practice had the intended effect (e.g. have children’s fundamental movement skills improved?) The process for developing or reviewing your physical activity policy and practice is shown below. This diagram shows that evaluation is integral to the process and should occur when necessary throughout the process.
