“Children on the autism spectrum fit into The Daily Mile with ease which is very important to us”

We are a Kindergarten in Lithuania and have 150 children that do The Daily Mile every day in our local park! We haven’t experienced any obstacles since implementing The Daily Mile in our setting.

As we have the status of an “Active school”, it is an added benefit for us to participate in The Daily Mile where we can provide children with the joy of movement, physical activity, and naturally this has had only a positive impact on our environment: happy children who have access to daily activity.

We want to share a story about child who is visually impaired, he shared his excitement that he was able to participate alongside his classmates! We have noticed that he is so happy and full of laughter when he takes part. Also, children on the autism spectrum fit into The Daily Mile with ease which is very important to us.

We are so glad to have had the chance to introduce The Daily Mile in our Kindergarten, and parents have also always supported the participation. When doing The Daily Mile, our children always shout “We run for fun” and “We are as fast as birds”!
