Physical Activity
What is the general picture of physical activity in these child care environments and does coaching make a difference? Does it differ by care type?
Questions 28-34 asked participants to select whether they were “Already Doing,” “Making Progress,” “Planning to Do,” or “Not Planning to Do” a given practice at their care site. Participants were also given the option of “Does Not Apply to My Site.” Participants who answered an item with “Already Doing” and “Making Progress” represent the “Doing” category in Figure 3. Those who selected “Planning to Do” and “Not Planning to Do” represent the “Not Doing” category, and those who answered “Does Not Apply to My Site” are reported as is.
