To receive this designation, a child care center must achieve a high-level of excellence in the key areas of nutrition, physical activity and outdoor learning environments. The Child Development Center at NCC will now provide on-site tours to other child care center staff to see the nutrition, physical activity, and outdoor learning environments in action and learn about how these improvements were accomplished.
*SHAPE NC assists communities across the state to promote healthy eating and active play among North Carolina’s youngest children, from birth through age five. The initiative works with child care programs to instill healthy behaviors early on, creating a solid foundation for a healthy life.
