Children's Museum of Manhattan

The Children’s Museum of Manhattan will use its grant to increase the capacity of museums to provide community-wide leadership in the fight against childhood obesity by designing, assessing, and disseminating the National Institutes of Health’s We Can! curriculum for children under age eight and their parents. The museum is partnering with the Association of Children’s Museums to undertake this three-year Early Childhood Obesity Prevention project. Research will examine the potential benefits of expanding the We Can! program to include children aged eight and younger.
