MSDE Guidelines for Child's Physical Activity
As a commitment to children’s health, the following Physical Activity Guidelines have been developed by the Maryland State Department of Education:
The model guidelines are based, in part, on recommendations developed by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) Guidelines for physical Activity in Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers. The regulations are also based on draft standards put forth by the Nutrition Technical Panel convened by The National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care and Early Education (NRC), in partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Public Health Association (APHA) for the third edition of Caring for Our Children: National Health and Safety Performance Standards; Guidelines for Out-of Home Child Care Programs (CFOC).
