Video: Healthy Changes Start in Preschool

Published on Jun 13, 2013 in Child Nutrition, Young Children

6.13.2013 This video, produced by the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, highlights the efforts of one educational organization, Los Angeles Universal Preschool (LAUP), to keep kids healthy at an early age. Childhood obesity now affects approximately one in six kids and disproportionately affects low-income and minority populations. LAUP teaches kids healthy habits and is incorporating small, healthy changes that can be made in any classroom – like teaching fun dances and providing nutritious snacks.
