Learning Outcomes

Course Overview

When it comes to making healthy food choices and being physically active, adults need to be role models and involve children in making healthy living decisions.  Give children building blocks for a healthy lifestyle by teaching them the importance of good nutrition and regular physical activity. Eating well and being physically active every day are keys to a child’s health and well-being. Make healthy eating and daily physical activity fun, to help children learn good habits to last a lifetime.

This training will begin with reviewing your responsibilities, as a provider, to assure that the food that children eat is safe.  We will also discuss child care licensing requirements for menu planning, taking food appeal into consideration, teaching children about nutrition, and the importance of physical activity.
