WHAT IS ZEROS 2 HEROES?
Zeros 2 Heroes is the first CIMSPA endorsed training course for the physical development of babies (from 12-weeks to 2 years old), and the safe return to exercise and well-being for the postnatal mother.
Learners will be educated on why and how the first two years of life are most crucial for healthy brain and motor movement development. The course will also instruct learners in creating, planning and delivering safe, fun and progressive physical development programmes for babies from pre-crawler stage (12 weeks old, through to confident walkers to 2 years old). Learners will be informed with the knowledge of the core developmental milestones from birth, in the areas of physical, social, emotional, sensory, cognitive and play development.
WHO IS THE ZEROS 2 HEROES COURSE FOR?
Zeros 2 Heroes training course is for professional people who are working actively in childcare, for example in a nursery setting, a childminder, children’s activities leaders in health clubs, private family club coaches, early years settings, or fitness related children’s coaches.
WHY SHOULD I TAKE THE ZEROS 2 HEROES COURSE?
The simple mission of Zeros 2 Heroes is to encourage babies to be ‘active from birth’, and inspire and educate parents and families to make physical activity an essential and meaningful part of their daily lives.
Reported by the World Health Organisation, over 340 million children and adolescents aged 5-19 were overweight or obese in 2016. In 2020, 39 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese.
Zeros 2 Heroes helps practitioners working with babies and families to educate and implement active programmes to counteract the epidemic of unhealthy, inactive and obese young people.
Chris Sharman, Co-Founder of Topodium Group and Kidztivity, commented: “We are delighted to have partnered with Donna on this new CIMSPA endorsed training programme. She is leading the way in physical activity for 0-2 year olds, and we’re proud to have supported the journey to launching this important course.”
“The impact we expect to have is going to empower those working with this age group, and also parents, who are so crucial in influencing and supporting children’s development at an early stage. The Zeros 2 Heroes course will provide essential foundations for activity providers to safely and confidently develop their offering, particularly as this age group is often overlooked when considering their product mix.”
