Buntús Start

Buntús Start is a comprehensive physical activity programme for children aged 2-5 years old. It has been designed for use in pre-school settings so that pre-school and playgroup leaders can provide a wide range of learning opportunities for young children to develop their fundamental motor skills, manipulative skills, co-ordination and balancing skills and develop a positive attitude to physical activity.

Buntús Start helps adults working with children to establish positive attitudes to activity and a healthy lifestyle through enjoyable activity with children. It offers a wealth of physical learning opportunities to enable children realise their potential and to become active and independent learners through play.

At the end of the training session, each participating centre will receive a set of resource cards and a Buntús Start bag, containing colourful, child friendly equipment especially developed to suit pre-school children.

There are 10 facility spaces available on the course and each childcare provider is requested to send a maximum of 2 people.
