- Physical Activity Opportunities in US Early Child Care Programs, The Study of Nutrition and Activity in Child Care Settings obtained a nationally representative sample of classrooms within Child and Adult Care Food Program-participating Head Start. The sample included 227 classrooms, 96 in child-care centers and 131 in Head Start programs. Findings suggest ample room for improvement in provision of physical activity opportunities during child care. American Academy of Pediatrics, May 18, 2022
