Healthy Child Care Texas with a red heart



 



Healthy Child Care Texas is a state initiative dedicated to promoting optimal health, safety, nutrition, and development for children in out-of-home child care programs while training Child Care Health Consultants and offering other means of support.

Healthy Child Care Texas Network

The HCCT Network consists of more than 100 Child Care Health Consultants that independently serve the state of Texas providing early learning programs with professional development for their early childhood staff, consultation, health inspections and a variety of customized services. CCHC offer in-person, on-line, virtual and self-study options making it possible support all early learning programs. Find a CCHC in Texas today. 



Texas Healthy Building Blocks 


Texas Healthy Building Blocks is an obesity prevention program funded by the Department of State Health Services and designed to recognize ECE facilities that demonstrate a commitment to children’s lifelong health.

Participating facilities will work with a Technical Assistance Consultant to self-assess their current practices in areas like physical activity, screen time, nutrition, outdoor play and learning, breastfeeding and infant feeding, oral health, and farm-to-school using the research-based Go NAPSACC self-assessment tool.

The pilot program in Harris County is currently underway. Contact HCCT Program Manager Erica Sanchez for more information [email protected]


OLE! Texas Partner Spotlight: Texas Children in Nature (TCiN)

Spotlighting partners and organizations that help centers find resources to help with their outdoor learning environments.

Texas Children in Nature (TCiN) is working to ensure equitable access and connection to nature for all children in Texas. 2020 has been quite the year for TCiN, starting with a visioning workshop to begin the transition to becoming our own private non-profit organization. Part of the visioning workshop was a renewed focus on equity in the outdoors for children in Texas

Another response to the changing times of 2020 has been the advent of a series of TCiN hosted virtual teacher workshops to help teachers use the green spaces on their campuses. These workshops have focused on engaging teachers in best practices for taking their students outdoors during the school day and creating engaging virtual lessons using nature outside their students' homes. 

You can join in the exciting work TCiN is doing by joining one of our eight regional collaboratives across the state. These groups meet regularly to discuss how to promote children spending time in nature and their own projects to create a network of professionals focused on facilitating children to spend time in nature.
