[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you children don't eat healthy food/snacks now, they will probably never eat later on. On top will get all kinds of sicknesses in that regard. If you provider/school not providing healthy food- run away from there. But also, please remember that kids are also people, they like time to time sweet or little salty. Everything in moderation. But food from the early childhood - it's the most important for a healthy body. As a provider, I can see that kids learn better when they have hot breakfast, they sleep better when they have healthy (cooked daily lunch) and good snack before going home to eat good dinner. I don't grow veggies, yet, but we are cooking everyday hot breakfast and lunches and our kids are healthy and parents are happy. The worst menu I ever saw it was at Childtime in Bethesda. I cannot believe that kind horrible food kid eat there. [/quote] As a provider, do you get any guidance on what to serve - what "healthy" is or do you just go with what you know as healthy? Does anyone train you and your teachers on how to talk to kids about food, healthy eating, trying new things etc? I don't think they do at my child's child care center but I can't tell if that's the exception or the norm. [/quote]
