SPARK Learning Lab is proud to partner with the Indiana Department of Health to bring you Go NAPSACC, an online tool that is helping childcare programs nationwide do more to support children’s healthy eating and physical activity habits. Through its proven, 5-step process, you will set and reach goals that will help your program be its best. Participating programs will receive unlimited access to Go NAPSACC’s online planning tools and high-quality educational materials, as well as support from a local Go NAPSACC Consultant.

They offer modules on key topics like healthy eating, physical activity, and oral health.
Ready to get started? Join a Learning Collaborative!
SPARK Learning Lab is excited to offer a collaborative learning opportunity to bring together ECE program leaders to learn about healthy habits in ECE settings while sharing experiences with each other and implementing new strategies in their programs. GoNAPSACC Better Together Collaboratives will focus on learning modules featured in the GoNAPSACC online tool. Throughout the Learning Collaborative, connections are made to show how healthy eating and physical activity contribute to all domains of children’s development.
Collaboratives will include Learning Sessions where discussions and activities enhance learning followed by Action Periods where program leaders use GoNAPSACC’s online tool to assess current program activities, educate fellow staff on their learning, and lead staff through a process of change to increase healthy habits.
