We promote healthy lifestyles at our center, including exercise. Now that the weather is beginning to feel like Spring, we are able to get outside more often to play and go on walks around campus. One of our favorite places to walk to on sunny days is the track on WOU's campus. It's fun to pretend we are racers on the track, line up like real runners do and run as fast as we can around the whole track!

In addition to teaching the children how to keep their bodies healthy through exercise, they are also learning about the sport of track and field. For example, one child asked what the sand pit was for, which led to a discussion about the high jump. However, unlike sports, at the end of our race around the track we celebrate the fact that we made it around the track and we are all winners!
