Kiddie Academy(R) Achieves System Adoption of National Health and Fitness Initiative
Educational Childcare Company Collaborates With Let's Move! to Promote Healthy Lifestyles for Children
(firmenpresse) - BALTIMORE, MD -- (Marketwired) -- 05/22/13 -- Over 90% of Kiddie Academy® locations nationwide have received certification as participants in the "" child care initiative -- a public statement of Kiddie Academy's system-wide commitment to a healthier future for children.
Health and fitness are integral parts of Kiddie Academy's philosophy, which addresses the importance of keeping children fit and healthy by ensuring children's daily routines meet and exceed the recommendations of leading national health and fitness organizations.
"The health of the children in our care is a top priority, as is the development of healthy habits. We want children to learn about eating right, integrating exercise and maintaining healthy personal habits," said Claire Haas, vice president of education for Kiddie Academy. "To have more than 90% of Kiddie Academies receive the seal of approval from the Let's Move! child care program not only validates the exceptional health and fitness programs we offer, it also serves as a powerful statement about Kiddie Academy's overall commitment to a healthier future for our children."
According to Haas, the health and fitness pillar within Life Essentials and the recognition from Let's Move! distinguish Kiddie Academy as a leader in this endeavor within the childcare industry.
On the physical fitness front, daily schedules ensure that children 3 years and older spend at least two hours each day participating in physical activity that reinforces the weekly educational theme in the classroom. In addition, Kiddie Academy keeps the focus on physical activities by integrating them into classroom routines so that they correlate with Kiddie Academy's proprietary curriculum.
Health-wise, Kiddie Academy's menus have been reviewed by a licensed nutrition consultant and updated to meet the new national standards.
According to Haas, Kiddie Academy wants to emphasize these healthy practices even after children have left the academy for the day. "Through parent letters and posted lesson plans, we help parents understand and reinforce the healthy lessons learned during the day, including hand washing, healthy habits and the importance of physical fitness."
