Objectives Obesity Prevention in Child Care  Describe Early Childhood Obesity Prevention workgroup  Present the proposed standards  Nutrition  Screen time  Breastfeeding  Physical activity  Discuss challenges and next steps

Background  NYS Dept. of Health  Division of Nutrition Bureau of CACFP  Division of Disease Prevention Bureau of Chronic Disease Prevention  CDC Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity  Develop an Action Guide  Provide guidance to States To implement model policies and environmental strategies Nutrition Physical activity Screen time reduction

Statistics  4,000 child care centers  14,000 family day care homes  650,000 child care spaces  14,000 participate in CACFP  350,000 children served  31.5% of 2-4 year olds  32% of Upstate public school students  40% of NYC public school students Child Care Data (2010)Obesity Data (2010)

Obesity Prevention in Child Care Partnership – Steering Committee  Dept. of Health  CACFP  Obesity Prevention Program  Office of Children and Family Services  Child care licensing and subsidy  NYS Head Start Collaboration  Physical Activity Specialist  NYS Early Care Advisory Council members  Early Care and Learning Council

Partnership Focus Obesity Prevention Regulations and Policies Quality Rating System Education and Training

Common Standards  Increase physical activity  Reduction in screen time  Decrease in sedentary behavior  Supporting breastfeeding mothers  Expansion of required training to include topics related to obesity prevention, including CACFP’s Healthy Meal Pattern  Support for CACFP Healthy Meal Pattern

Nutrition and Screen Time

CACFP Obesity Prevention  Healthy Child Meal Pattern 1% or Less for children over 2 years No flavored milk for children under 5 years Juice served no more than once per day (breakfast or snack) Water served at snack if no other beverage Sweet grains limited to twice per week (breakfast or snack)  EWPH Child Care Settings Child care centers Day care homes  Breastfeeding Friendly Centers and Homes

NYS Day Care Licensing - Nutrition  Existing Standards  Adequate food must be available in appropriate portions for size and age of children  Center programs must have 4 weeks of menus reviewed by nutrition professional (or CACFP)  Medical, religious and personal food preferences must be accommodated  Children must be helped to feed themselves  Safe drinking water must be available at all times  Every effort must be made to accommodate a breastfed child

NYS Day Care Licensing - Nutrition  Proposed Program Standards  No new nutrition or breastfeeding standards  Proposed Required Training Topics  Healthy menu planning  Obesity prevention  Benefits of and how to encourage breastfeeding for mothers returning to work

NYS Day Care Licensing – Screen Time  Proposed Program Standards  Screen Time Center: Infants (under 18 mo) must not be exposed to any screen time Family: TV must be off when not in use for program activities  Must be part of planned, developmentally appropriate program for educational, social, physical or other learning objective  Screen time during meals is prohibited  Screen time should not be used solely to occupy time

Quality Stars NY – Nutrition Standards  Points awarded if:  Program compares revenues and expenses to budget, OR  Fiscal records and budget are reviewed to ensure no deficit OR  If eligible, program participates in CACFP  Meals and snacks served or consumed meet the CACFP meal pattern for ages in care  Program implements an obesity prevention program  Staff attends training on obesity prevention  Program supports breastfeeding Before PartnershipWith Partnership

Quality Stars - Screen Time Standards  Only to the extent that credentialing programs address it  Program must have a policy:  Regarding use of TV/Video  Birth-2 years: None  2-5 years:30 min/wk  Educational only  Commercial-free Before PartnershipWith Partnership

NYS Early Care and Education Core Body of Knowledge Framework  Proposed changes:  Considers developmental appropriateness of screen time  Provides meals that align with NY CACFP meal patterns  Limits fruit juice to 4 oz. per day  Encourages exclusive breastfeeding until 6 months and accommodates breastfeeding mothers

Beyond the Partnership  NYS Governor’s Race to the Top Early Care and Learning  Recognized CACFP’s impact on early child care and education  NYS Department of Health Commissioner  Agency-wide Childhood Obesity Council  Advocating for CACFP as the nutrition standard in licensing

Physical Activity

NYS Day Care Licensing – Physical Activity  Proposed Program Standards  Daily schedule must include “tummy time”  Offer indoor activities, out door activities and variety of large muscle activities throughout the day  There must be physical activity every day  Proposed Required Training Topics  Promoting play and physical activtiy

Quality Stars – Center & Home-based Physical Activity Standards  Daily opportunities to move freely under adult supervision to  Explore indoor and outdoor environment  Including tummy time when awake  15 min. PA/hr in care  Developmentally appropriate PA  Include structured and unstructured PA  Moderate to vigorous PA  Both indoors and outdoors Infants/Toddlers to 18 monthChildren over 18 month

NYS Early Care and Education Core Body of Knowledge Framework  Children must effectively develop small muscle skills and large muscle coordination through play  Provide opportunities for gross motor and outdoor play for the development of large motor skills  Recognize and respect importance of play in children’s development and growth  Provides children with at least 120 min. of gross motor activity (for children attending a full day program) each day through both structured and unstructured play Existing PoliciesProposed Policies

Consider changing term to  Recommend development of ‘fundamental movement skills’ instead of ‘gross motor activity’

Fundamental Movement Skills Object Control LocomotorStability

This is NOT Rocket Science

Let’s try a few fun ways to practice Fundamental Movement Skills

Partnership Challenges/Lessons  There are no quantitative measures in regulations  Monitoring meals of non-participating programs  Monitoring amount of physical activity  Access to physical activity training  Breastfeeding Friendly recognition for non- participating programs  Support from Early Childhood Advisory Council  Influential people are important for policy changes

Next Steps  Supporting implementation of regulatory changes and Quality Stars Rating System  Increasing CACFP participation  Revisiting EWPHCCS and DCH models  Increasing Breastfeeding Friendly Child Care programs  Creating a physical activity training plan  Reviewing progress towards standards
