Speaker′s Kit

As part of the Child Care Bureau's efforts to promote nutrition and physical activity in child care and afterschool settings, the Bureau has developed a speaker's kit that is intended for program administrators, directors, TA providers, and others who are interested in promoting proper nutrition and physical activity in child care and afterschool settings.

• Childhood obesity and overweight statistics
• Consequences of childhood obesity
• Why childcare and afterschool settings are an ideal venue for incorporating nutrition and physical activity
