The purpose of this study was to examine the physical activity environment in childcare programs across type (childcare centers [CCCs] and family childcare homes [FCCHs]) and geographic location (urban and rural) as assessed by physical activity best practices according to the Go Nutrition and Physical Activity Self-assessment in Child Care. Results showed CCCs compared with FCCHs reported higher achievement of best practices. Further, urban childcare programs (CCCs and FCCHs) reported higher achievement of best practices in comparison to rural childcare programs. There is a need to deliver targeted interventions that promote children's physical activity in FCCHs and CCCs in rural areas.
本研究旨在根据《儿童保健营养和体育活动自我评估》检查日托计划（日托中心 [CCCs] 和家庭日托家庭 [FCCHs]）的体育活动环境，并按体育活动最佳实践进行分类，考察其在类型和地理位置（城市和农村）上的差异。结果表明，与 FCCH 相比，CCC 报告的最佳实践达成度更高。此外，与农村日托计划相比，城市日托计划（CCCs 和 FCCH）的最佳实践达成度更高。需要在农村地区的 FCCH 和 CCC 中开展有针对性的干预措施，以促进儿童的身体活动。
