About the Jabadao approach
Young children are hardwired to move in ways to support their development. They know what they are doing.
However, their wiring and instinct aren't enough on their own. They need an environment and opportunities that support this built-in developmental drive. And adults who understand.
Drawing on theory about developmental movement, sensory integration, neuroscience and a range of movement and bodywork practices, we give you new, simple ways to approach your physical development curriculum.
And we offer very practical guidance on how to ensure babies and children have the developmental opportunities they need.
