National Preschool Health and Fitness Day is observed worldwide every last Friday of January. Established by KID-FIT, this day emphasizes the importance of healthy eating and physical education for preschool children, promoting healthy lifestyle habits from an early age. The observance encourages parents and teachers to instill sound nutrition, regular exercise, and adequate rest in children aged 2 to 5, aiming to prevent diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease later in life. Activities may include engaging preschoolers in active play, cooking healthy meals together, and ensuring routine health checkups. The day is supported by organizations like the Child Care Services Association (CCSA), which promotes initiatives to foster a healthy relationship with food and exercise among young children.
