Part II: Intervening Early -- Childcare as an Untapped Setting for Preventing Childhood Obesity

On December 10 the RWJF Center will host a webinar on a newly released study evaluating how states are doing in terms of regulating their childcare settings, and insight into research that is being done focusing on creating more active environments for children in childcare settings.
