Study population: Ten licensed DOE Class A or B childcare centers will be randomly selected from a list of all DOE licensed childcare centers in East Baton Rouge Parish (EBR). From the ten centers, 266 children and their parent(s) will be recruited to complete additional measures of physical activity and screen-time behaviors.

Brief summary: Objective is to examine the physical activity and screen-time behaviors of children enrolled in licensed childcare centers before and after the enactment of new state regulations.

Detailed description: Pause and Play aims to enroll 266 children. Each child will participate in the study for approximately 1 year. Surveys, anthropometric measures, and screen-time observations will take approximately 1 day each to complete, and the child will be given an accelerometer to wear at home for 7 days at both baseline and 1 year follow-up. Fundamental motor skill assessments will take place at baseline and 1 year follow-up after the 7 days of accelerometer wear. Staff members will spend approximately 2 weeks at each childcare center at baseline and 1 year follow-up to complete study procedures with each child.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* A child who is 3 or 4 years old
* Child spends at least 6 hours per day, 5 days per week at a participating childcare center
* Child will continue to attend the same childcare center for the next year

Exclusion Criteria:

* Parent/legal guardian is unwilling to provide written informed consent
