Nutrition And Physical activity Self-Assessment for Child Care
Change in Nutrition and Physical Activity Policies
Determine if the use of a Nurse Child Care Health Consultant changes nutrition and physical activity policies at child care centers using criteria based on the national standards identified from resources such as NAEYC accreditation guidelines, Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) policies and requirements, and the joint APHA/AAP publication Caring for our Children (American Academy of Pediatrics, American Public Health Association \& National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care, 2002; 1992). If written policies were present, they were compared to the gold-standard criteria from the national resource material and assigned a rating of either none (no written policies), poor (written policies fail to meet either state regulatory criteria or national standards), adequate (meets state regulatory criteria but not all of the national standards), or excellent (meets all of the national criteria present).
Time frame: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2
Change in Nutrition and Physical Activity Behaviors
Determine if the use of a Nurse Child Care Health Consultant changes nutrition and physical activity behaviors at child care centers using the NAP SACC instrument intervention tool which consists of fifteen different areas of interest (9 nutrition and 6 physical activity) with several items each. The total number of items scored, 34, evaluate the center's environment with regard to support of healthy eating and regular physical activity. The instrument scoring is at one of four levels moving from minimal to best practice.
Time frame: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2
