Currently, Canada is lacking clear movement behaviour policy for childcare. However, recognizing that policy alone is insufficient to change behaviour, the TEACH e-Learning module—shown to improve educators’ knowledge and self-efficacy—provides complementary training to support implementation success.

 

The purpose of the Best Practices + TEACH study is to pilot and evaluate the implementation and feasibility of this multicomponent intervention and its associated assessments prior to full-scale rollout. Specifically, the study will examine:

1. dose, adherence, and feasibility of implementing both Best Practices and TEACH in combination within childcare centres, and

2. the impact on early childhood educator practices and the childcare environment.

​

Together, these components aim to create more active, movement-rich childcare settings for young children.
