Active Early & Healthy Bites have been developed as companion, Wisconsin-based resources for improving childhood physical activity and nutrition. Active Early aims to increase the amount of moderate to vigorous physical activity for young children, while Healthy Bites aims to support environments, practices and policies that promote nutrition.
The Wisconsin Early Childhood Obesity Prevention Initiative (WECOPI) has spear-headed Active Early & Healthy Bites by conducting needs assessments, securing funds and designing, implementing and evaluating effective prevention strategies. WECOPI is composed of three Wisconsin State Departments: Health Services, Children and Families and Public Instructions, as well as other public and private partners.

As one WECOPI partner, Supporting Families Together Association (SFTA) hosts and manages this blog as a way to engage families, early care and education professionals and key decision-makers in making a healthier early childhood for all of Wisconsin’s children!
The production of this blog was made possible in part by funding from the UW School of Medicine and Public Health’s Wisconsin Partnership Program.
