Gold Sneaker Initiative

We are talking all about fitness and healthy choices this month! One way we strive to maintain healthy habits is through the Gold Sneaker Initiative. This state funded program is a voluntary program that we have gone through to promote health and wellness in early childhood. These policies promote physical activity, healthy menu options, and non-smoking facilities.


As a Gold Sneaker facility we:
  • offer children at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day
  • limit television and video viewing to 60 minutes per day of educational programs
  • do not allow children to remain sedentary or passive for more than 60 minutes continuously
  • ensure physical activity is a positive experience
  • ensure appropriate feeding patterns, including adequate
time for meal consumption
  • ensure appropriate infant and child feeding patterns, including appropriate portion sizes
  • promote a positive attitude toward food
  • maintain a tobacco free campus
