What is PALS?

PALS Implementation Participating States Physical Activity Learning Session (PALS) Project Overview PALS is a set of evidence-informed training materials for early care and education (ECE) trainers and technical assistants. PALS workshops examine the best practices for physical activity across eight areas and address the challenges ECE providers face in supporting active play.

PALS was launched in 2018 with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and was designed to address a gap in lowcost training for ECE providers to promote physical activity. Participating states collaborate with professional development systems and training and technical assistance networks to recruit trainers to participate in a Train the Trainer.

PALS sessions use self-assessments and content on the best practices of physical activity in early care settings to help providers improve practices, policies or environments.
