“We joined Let’s Move! Child Care to help raise a healthier generation of kids. Since joining we have seen a decrease in absenteeism, weight loss in children who were obese and increased appetites for healthy foods.”

The Quiz
Access our simple online checklist quiz with the email you use to sign up. You might find it helpful to complete the quiz during nap time or after children have left for the day. You may need to ask your director or other providers in your program for their input as well. The checklist quiz will ask questions about physical activity, nutrition and screen time in your program. The number of questions depends on the age range you serve. There will be up to 15 questions.
Be sure to register before taking the quiz.
Your Action Plan
After taking the Checklist Quiz, create an Action Plan. Decide which goals you want to fully meet, figure out the steps needed to meet each goal, assign someone responsible to meet each step and when it should be complete. When broken down into small steps, each goal can be fully met.
