Let's Move! Child Care is a collaboration of:

Let’s Move! — This comprehensive initiative from U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama is dedicated to solving the problem of obesity within a generation, so that kids born today will grow up healthier. Combining comprehensive strategies with common sense, Let’s Move! is about putting children on the path to a healthy future during their earliest months and years.

At the launch of the initiative, President Barack Obama signed a Presidential Memorandum creating the first-ever “Task Force on Childhood Obesity.” The goal: To review all programs and policies relating to child nutrition and physical activity and to develop a national action plan to maximize federal resources and set benchmarks toward the First Lady’s national goal. Now, Let’s Move! Child Care is an extension of the First Lady’s efforts, reaching out to the child care providers on the front lines of early childhood education and care.

Nemours — One of the nation’s leading children’s health systems, Nemours is devoted to treating and preventing illnesses from birth through adolescence.

Nemours also educates parents, children, teachers, child care providers, and the public through programs and initiatives like Nemours Office of Policy and Prevention — an original member of the Partnership for Healthier America initiative and founding partner of Healthy Kids, Healthy Future — and Nemours Health & Prevention Services (NHPS) — helping people understand the causes and implications of obesity and promoting healthier lifestyles among kids and families.

KidsHealth.org (created by the Nemours Center for Children's Health Media) is the most-visited website in the world devoted to children's health and development at every age and stage.

Healthy Kids, Healthy Future — To support collaboration among experts in the obesity prevention and early care and education fields, Nemours and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) formed the Healthy Kids, Healthy Future Steering Committee — an expert group of approximately 40 national leaders. Together, these experts are developing and implementing a strategic plan to advance obesity prevention and health promotion in early care and education settings for children from birth through age 5.
