Innovation • Physical Activity Learning Sessions (PALS) with Nemours Children's

The Physical Activity Learning Sessions (PALS) was launched in 2018 and is currently being delivered in eight states. PALS is an 'out of the box' training designed to give early care and education (ECE) professionals an understanding of the best practices for physical activity for children from birth through age 5 years. During the PALS training, participants create an action plan to improve their practices, policies, or environments to better support physical activity recommendations. State Partners recruit up to 25 trainers to participate in the PALS Train the Trainer (TtT). Nemours delivers a virtual Train the Trainer and supports trainers with ongoing technical assistance and peer networking opportunities.
