Method: This study is based on a descriptive correlational design. Daycare centres in the City of Quebec (Canada) were chosen at random. Daycare workers were then invited to complete a questionnaire measuring their intention to make children move for at least two hours a day in the next 30 days, as well as the following variables: attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, self-efficacy, descriptive norm, past behaviour, habit, perceived moral obligation and perceived regularity at which they make the children move. The Cronbach alpha of each construct was satisfactory, with values ranging from .82 to .97. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the data. Findings: Preliminary findings obtained among 37 daycare workers from 15 daycare centres indicate that perceived behavioural control (b=.35), subjective norm (b=.26), perceived moral obligation (b=.23), attitude (b=.20) and the regularity with which daycare workers perceive they make children (b=.14) move explain 87% of the variance in intention F (5,31) = 51.23, p=.00. Conclusion. These preliminary findings indicate that a large part of the intention of daycare workers to make children move can be explained by factors in the theoretical frameworks selected. These factors could eventually be used to develop an intervention aimed at improving or consolidating the intention of daycare workers. However, the findings first need to be confirmed in a larger sample. It has been documented that global attitudes are very poor predictors for outcomes of singular behavioral responses toward a given psychological object (Ajzen and Cote, 2008) . In addition to the psychological object, we must also know its underlying factors; chiefly action, context, and time. When trying to assess an attitude toward a health behavior, it is important to specify as many of the details surrounding the health behavior as possible, otherwise the attitude may be too generalized, or global, to be predictive of actual engagement in the health behavior under question.
