This organization focuses on promoting national policies and partnerships to advance the development and learning of all children and to provide vision, leadership, and support to community childcare resources & referrals. The current issue from this website that has caught my attention is related to childhood obesity. First Lady Michelle Obama has made several announcements of "Let's Move! Childcare (LMCC). As a result, almost 2,000 participants have registered online and joined the fight against childhood obesity. The members have committed to increasing physical activity and healthy eating habits in children. This will promote healthy environments for children in early care and education settings. The NACCRRA has developed a series of webinars highlighting some of the goals.
I've learned that I can do more to help fight childhood obesity. This website has increased my awareness about child-health related issues. I plan to join the existing 1800 members in the Let's Move event. Another way to help is to set an example. If we want our children to eat right and be more active, we have to do more than just talk about it. We have to do it ourselves. The parents, teachers and childcare providers have the biggest influence on the children. The children will imitate what we say and do. As a result they will pass these same habits on to their own children. EVERYONE GET READY, GET TOGETHER & LET'S MOVE WITH THE NACCRRA!
