Implementation
Under the first theme of “For the physical activity module, the lack of indoor and outdoor space at some kindergartens was the main barrier for the teachers to carry out the activities fully. The participants also commented that the kangaroo stories were too long and boring, thus failing to captivate and retain the children’s attention. As for the data collection process, both teachers and parents commented that the questionnaire was too long. On top of that, the parents felt discouraged when using the accelerometer to capture physical activity data as the equipment required full cooperation from the children and both parents.However, despite all of the abovementioned barriers, the teachers and their assistants complimented the provision of training guides, equipment, and materials that facilitated the implementation of the activities. They commented that instructions in the training guide were clear and easy to carry out, apart from highlighting that the provision of water dispensers and “Quarter-Quarter-Half” plates helped them to incorporate various ToyBox activities into the kindergarten’s syllabus for the teachers to be more creative in their daily routine.
