Attention all child care providers and preschool teachers
in Hamilton County!

Your help is needed for a focus group study about children's physical activity in child care settings. Participation in this study involves a group interview lasting approximately 1-2 hours with about 5-7 other teachers/child care providers in Hamilton County. You will be asked questions about the types of physically active games children play at your center, indoor and outdoor playgrounds, and your beliefs about what encourages and discourages children to be active in child care centers.

• If no one yet has participated from your center or neighborhood, we want to hear from you!
• $25 cash gift will be given to all participants who complete the study.
• Light snacks and refreshments will be served.
• Sessions available in the evening.

Anyone who has worked in the last 3 years as a child care provider, teacher, assistant teacher, or child care director in a Hamilton County child care center for children aged 0-5 years is eligible.

Please call 513-636-0152 today for more information, or to enroll in this study Talking about Active Play in Childcare (TAP study).
