Eating healthy is only one way child care providers can help children maintain a healthy weight. Physical activity is also important. Here are some tips child care providers can use to help all children get a healthy amount of physical activity each day. And remember, active play does not need to be stressful or complicated to be successful. 
  • Plan regular times for unstructured active play.
  • Set up an active play area indoors.
  • Emphasize cooperation.
  • Participate and be a role model.
