Child Care and School Age Settings
Child care and school-age organizations promote healthy foods and beverages as well as physical activities and incorporate them throughout the day (including before and after school).

Strategies

Engage child care, pre-school, and school age programs to model and promote nutritional balance and physical activity for children and their families.

Strategy 2:
Promote the Coordinated School Health model in every local school with an emphasis on the nutrition and physical activity components.

Strategy 3:
Promote walking among school age children as both active transportation and recreation.
