Results from the "I Am Moving, I Am Learning" Stage 1 Survey

The Head Start “I Am Moving, I Am Learning” initiative aims to prevent childhood obesity by increasing the time children spend in physical activity, improving the quality of these activities, and promoting healthy food choices. This report examines the extent to which grantees who participated in spring 2006 training implemented enhancements. Most tried to do so and chose enhancements related to physical activity and structured movement more often than enhancements related to nutrition. Most programs felt their implementation was successful, although only half had a written plan for implementation, so it is not clear if these efforts can be sustained.
