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
