Healthy eating can look very different based on a child’s age so best practices around recognizing hunger cues and how to feed infants to preschoolers are crucial.
Nourishing healthy eaters training will deepen ECE providers’ understanding of nutrition concepts and the importance of healthy eating in child development. Participants will learn about healthy eating and incorporating healthier foods into childcare meals and snacks. They will also learn about division of responsibility in feeding, encouraging children to try new foods, and family style dining and how to incorporate it into mealtimes. Participants will also discover and discuss fun activities that incorporate nutrition concepts into classroom and program activities.
