A Healthier World





Children need to learn at a young age about good nutrition.
What better way than to plant, harvest and prepare?
I believe that if children took a more active role in food that they would make better choices!
I feel that they would be more apt to try new foods if they had a role in it from beginning to end.
How to do this when parents work all day and children are being raised in childcare centers?
How do we as educators make the time to hoe the site, plant the seeds and watch it grow when the state says planned curriculum and the children say emergent?
I am looking to answer these questions and many more.
How can I get the children involved in their lives?
