Hello everyone,

Obesity Prevention in Early Care and Education News Blast:  We’re happy to share with you the June Edition of the 2015 Obesity Prevention in Early Care and Education News Blast. See the attached News Blast for recent ECE news, ECE highlights, new resources, and research from the early care and education field.

Early Care and Education Networking Call: (TOMORROW) Wednesday, June 24th! This call will feature our USDA colleague Andrea Farmer. Andrea will present findings from nationwide research conducted in 2014 with Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) centers, homes, sponsoring organizations, and State agencies. Online needs-assessment surveys and telephone focus groups were used to identify: current practices and perceived challenges in implementing nutrition, physical activity, and electronic media use recommendations in ECE settings; training and technical assistance needs; and, preferred delivery formats of training and resources. NOTE: The call in number for the call is:  1-877-718-2565 and the Passcode is 67363979.  Please see the slide set attached. The call will also be recorded and archived.
