Child Care Aware® of Missouri continues to partner with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services to support child care programs with strategies and tools to increase children’s physical activity and nutrition. We have a limited number of openings for the group starting in April to participate in this fun, resource-filled opportunity. It is a small project that does not require a lot of time, but can produce large results for the children and families in your program.
We will utilize the online self-assessment tool created by the University of North Carolina, called the Nutrition and Physical Activity Self-Assessment Child Care (NAPSACC). It compares your current practices to best practices for nutrition and physical activity for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Whether it confirms you are already following best practices or there is opportunity for growth, the children, their families, as well as you and your staff reap the benefits of a healthier program.
This is not something you would be working on alone. In addition to many resources available, your program will have an assigned Technical Assistance Specialist that will provide technical assistance to support you through your journey. Your TA Specialist will give your program one-on-one support to help you achieve your goals. Once you have achieved two of your goals, you will receive a $75 Kaplan gift card from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
