The weather is warmer and Child Care Aware® of Missouri has limited openings in its Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services partnership Go NAPSACC project to provide you with strategies and tools to shake off the winter blues and engage children in physical activity and update your menus with new and exciting recipes. Child care centers and family child care homes have found ideas and recipes to make meals and snacks more engaging.  Children who were once picky eaters, are now more adventurous and willing to try new foods.  NAPSACC has the resources to help! Brandy Bumphrey, owner of Country Kids Learning Center in Savannah, loved the resources she received to create healthier menus.  She was able to support the staff and children to try new foods that are now part of their everyday menus.   ##### *What is Go NAPSACC?* - NAPSACC (Nutrition and Physical Activity Self-Assessment Child Care) is an online self-assessment tool created by the University of North Carolina. - The purpose of the project is to increase children’s physical activity and nutrition. - It looks at best practices for nutrition and physical activity for infants, toddler and preschoolers. - The NAPSACC has seven sections. But as part of the project, we are asking you to complete only one area. ##### *How do I get started?* *[![Register Here to Join NAPSACC](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/20470294/cbc7b0e9-3339-4395-87d0-de0bf5966273.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/20470294/cbc7b0e9-3339-4395-87d0-de0bf5966273)* - After registering, you will complete an online self-assessment which takes about 10-15 minutes. - Once you have completed the self-assessment, the website helps you set goals and create action plans for your program that you can personalize. - You must complete two goals to complete the NAPSACC area. - It is packed with resources and ideas for you to achieve your goals, including new recipes and ideas for fun activities to get children up and moving! - 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. You will not be working alone! Your program will have an assigned Technical Assistance Specialist that will provide technical assistance through FaceTime, Zoom, or similar platform.  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.  If you have questions, please contact Lauri Choate, Director of Wellness Initiatives at [lauri@mochildcareaware.org](mailto:lauri@mochildcareaware.org) or 314-754-1603.    Explore our other Child Care Aware® of Missouri resources: [FREE Clock Hour Training](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/free-clock-hour-training) [Scholarships for Educators](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/scholarships-for-educators) [Child Care Health and Wellness](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/child-care-nutrition-and-physical-activity) [Family Child Care Network](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/family-child-care-network) [Leadership Development Opportunities](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/leadership-development-opportunities) [Missouri Office of Childhood Updates](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/missouri-office-of-childhood-updates) [Show Me Child Care Resources](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/show-me-child-care-resources) [Support Child Care Aware® of Missouri](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/support-child-care-aware) [Community Data](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/community-data) [Join Our Team](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/join-our-team) [Resources to Build Your Business ](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/resources-to-build-your-business)     #### About - Menu Item One - Menu Item Two - Menu Item Three #### Services - Menu Item One - Menu Item Two - Menu Item Three #### News - Menu Item One - Menu Item Two - Menu Item Three Follow us on Facebook Follow us on LinkedIn Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Instagram
