Intent of the Intervention

The Nutrition and Physical Activity Self-Assessment for Child Care (NAP SACC) program is a research-tested intervention designed to enhance policies, practices, and environments in child care by improving the:

  • nutritional quality of food served,
  • amount and quality of physical activity
  • staff-child interactions
  • facility nutrition and physical activity policies and practices and related environmental characteristics

The NAP SACC intervention primarily addresses the inter-personal and organizational levels of the socioecologic model.
