Evaluation of the Healthy Moves for Healthy Children Program: Focus groups with Head Start teachers

Childcare providers are key partners in prevention of childhood overweight. The Healthy Moves for Healthy Children (HMHC) curriculum was adapted from Iowa State Extension "Pick a Better Snack" program by University of Illinois Extension. In 2005, Head Start teachers received HMHC in-service training and were provided with a set of 4x6-inch cards, with thematic suggestions for healthy snacks, physical activities and children's books, to implement throughout the year.
