Partnering Programs

We are partnering with other programs to support the needs of our children.

Shape NC

Shape NC

SHAPE NC is a program sponsored by Orange County Partnership for Young Children and Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation,  to address children obesity in Orange County and to promote healthy nutrition and physical activity in children. It is focused on day care centers, to guide them in changing policies, practices and environment to increase physical activity and healthy eating. SFFA is one of the few centers in NC chosen to participate in the first phase.

Since we began our participation in SHAPE NC we have revised the center nutrition policy and menus to assure healthy nutrition practices, started the redesigning of the playground to encorage children movement and physical activity, and offered nutrition and physical activities workshops to the staff and parents.
