Child Care Aware of Missouri is excited to announce that 17 child care centers from 13 counties across the state have accomplished more than 40 goals through the Go Nutrition and Physical Activity Self-Assessment Child Care (NAPSACC) project.
These programs assessed their current practices and compared them to best practices for supporting nutrition and physical activity among infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Working one-on-one with a Technical Assistance Specialist, each program took meaningful steps to create healthier environments for the children and families they serve.
