Grow Healthier With Us

The Florida Department of Health is partnering with early learning centers to support health and wellness programs and initiatives through the Go Nutrition And Physical Activity Self-Assessment for Child Care (Go NAPSACC) program.

Go NAPSACC is an evidence-based program that works with teachers in early care and education centers to improve the health of young children (0-5) and prevent childhood obesity through practices, policies, and environments that instill habits supporting lifelong health and well-being.
