Summary

This study looks at whether providing free center-based childcare during the summer can prevent unhealthy weight gain in preschoolers from low-income families. Researchers will enroll 300 children who already attend a needs-based pre-K program during the school year. The goal is to see if keeping them in a structured childcare setting over the summer helps them maintain a healthy weight.
