December 2021 – The World Health Organization published global standards to support early child education and care providers in providing healthy foods and beverages and ensuring young children are sufficiently physically active, avoid excess sedentary time, and get enough sleep whilst attending childcare and education facilities. These standards will support the implementation of the WHO guidelines on physical activity, sedentary and sleep behaviors for children under 5 years of age. They are informed by a review of the evidence and current standards and best practices and focus on detailing standards that can be applied in low- and middle income, as well as for high income settings. The target audience is academics/researchers, development agencies, health workers, NGOs, and policymakers.
