Quasi experimental design was adopted for the study. 30 samples were selected from School through convenient sampling technique & divided into experimental and control group. The demographic data were collected from the preschool children. Weighing machine were used to assess the level of weight gain in preschool children. Significant difference was found between pretest and posttest levels of weight among preschool children in experimental group at <0.001 level. The comparison between experimental group and control group posttest shows that the intervention is effective. There was no significant association between the posttest value of weight and their selected demographic variable.
