What is Go NAPSACC?
Go NAPSACC (Nutrition and Physical Activity Self-Assessment for Child Care) is a suite of online tools that help childcare providers improve the health of young children through practices, policies, and environments that instill habits supporting life-long health and well-being. Technical assistance professionals use it to support obesity prevention practices in early care and education (ECE) programs.
Go NAPSACC’s best-practice standards for child care programs can help children up to age 5 develop healthy habits for eating, physical activity, and oral health.
The Go NAPSACC self-assessment is the first step toward change. Go NAPSACC’s provider tools allow childcare providers to complete and save their self-assessments online, then continue through the 5 Steps of Go NAPSACC by setting goals, creating action plans, and using favorite tips and materials to guide them along the way.
