Why is Physical Literacy Important? 🌱
Physical literacy is a key foundation for a child’s overall development. It goes far beyond sports — it helps children build the confidence, skills, and motivation they need to be active participants in everyday life.
When children develop physical literacy, they are more likely to enjoy movement, stay active, and carry healthy habits with them into adolescence and adulthood.
Why it matters:
• Supports children in being active and enjoying movement
• Can improve academic performance and cognitive development
• Strengthens mental wellness and emotional regulation
• Builds social skills, teamwork, and communication
• Encourages lifelong healthy lifestyle habits
The role of active play:
Active play is how physical literacy grows. Through unstructured and structured play, children explore movement naturally and build essential skills without pressure or comparison. Physical literacy becomes part of everyday life — not just something that happens in sports or gym class.
Building blocks of movement:
Learning basic movement skills such as running, jumping, kicking, throwing, catching, and balancing creates the foundation for all physical activity. These skills help children feel capable and confident participating in many different activities and environments.
Physical literacy supports the development of healthy bodies, confident minds, and the ability to make active choices throughout life. It’s about helping children move with confidence, competence, and joy — today and for years to come. 💛

Physical literacy is more than just learning how to play sports — it’s about building the confidence, skills, knowledge, and motivation to move through life with ease. 🌱
When children develop physical literacy, they aren’t just becoming more active today — they’re building habits and mindsets that support them for years to come.
The elements of physical literacy include:
• Motivation & Confidence – enjoying movement and feeling brave enough to try new activities
• Physical Competence – developing fundamental movement skills and coordination
• Knowledge & Understanding – knowing why activity matters and how to move safely
• Engagement for Life – choosing to be active regularly as they grow and gain independence
It’s not about being the fastest or the strongest. It’s about helping kids feel capable, included, and excited to move their bodies in many different ways. Every jump, throw, climb, and game is a step toward a healthier, more confident future. 💛

We are so honoured to be a part of this initiative!

Thanks to a generous $85,000 gift from BMO Financial Group, JPCHF is supporting virtual and in-person pediatric rehabilitation clinics in partnership with Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation Health Services and the communities of Pelican Narrows, Deschambault Lake and Southend! 💛

Led by Dr. Stacey Lovo and her team, the initiative provides physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech-language pathology using new rehabilitation equipment and technology. The program helps reduce long-distance travel for families so children can receive the care they need in their own communities.

We’re grateful to BMO for helping bring life-changing therapy closer to home for Saskatchewan kids and families!

Physical literacy isn’t about creating elite athletes — it’s about raising confident, capable movers for life. 🌱

When children develop the skills, confidence, and motivation to move their bodies in many different ways, they build a foundation that supports them far beyond childhood. Movement becomes something they enjoy, not something they avoid.

Physical literacy starts early — through play, exploration, and encouragement — and grows when kids are given opportunities to try a variety of activities rather than specializing too soon. The goal is not perfection in one sport, but comfort and confidence in movement overall.

Why Physical Literacy Matters:

• Supports academic focus and cognitive development

• Strengthens mental wellness and emotional regulation

• Builds social skills, teamwork, and communication

• Encourages lifelong healthy habits

What Builds Physical Literacy:

• Basic movement skills — running, jumping, throwing, balancing

• Confidence to try new activities without fear of failure

• Motivation and enjoyment of active play

• Exposure to variety — sports, dance, playground play, biking, swimming, and free movement

The Big Takeaway:

A child who only excels in one sport isn’t necessarily physically literate. True physical literacy comes from variety, play, and positive movement experiences that help kids feel capable in many environments.

Every climb, skip, toss, and game is more than just play — it’s a building block toward a healthy, active, and confident future.

🧬 Rare diseases are more common than most people realize.

In Canada, a rare disease affects fewer than 1 in 2,000 people — yet 1 in 12 Canadians is living with a rare condition, and about two-thirds are children.

These kids often face unique developmental and movement challenges, and early, supportive care can make a meaningful difference.

At Developt, we meet children exactly where they are — using play-based, meaningful movement to build strength, confidence, and skills for everyday life.

💛 Awareness matters. Support matters.
