Let's talk about Preschool Nutrition

21/10/2018

0 Comments

 
Thank you for stopping by. It's time to talk about nutrition. Toddlers and preschoolers have different nutritional needs from adults. Their tummies are smaller and therefore require more frequent meals/and snacks than adults with smaller portions.
I have created an original resource for families. This resource reads like a cookbook. Within it includes 5 simple recipes that are perfect for lunch or dinner. Preschool portions have been explained and reference Canada's Food Guide. 
Some Important things to Remember when planning and feeding little ones: 
  • DO NOT restrict nutritious food because of their fat content. offer a variety of foods from the four food groups
  • satisfy their thirst with water
  • respect your children's ability to determine how much food to eat.
  • be a good role model
  • be patient ​

    Early Years   at Home

     When we refer to home we refer to a feeling of welcome, family, comfort and belonging. Licensed home child care offers the feeling of "home" with the benefits of early years pedagogy. 

    ​Welcome to our home, we're glad you're here.
