Food Program Training Theme Image

This year’s theme, Food Explorers: Growing Adventurous Eaters, is about how to navigate selective eating in children. As a childcare provider, we know the health and nutrition of the kids in your care is one of your top priorities. This training will equip child care providers with the knowledge and tools to promote healthy eating habits in children while fostering an adventurous attitude toward eating.

Participate in chat discussion, polls, case studies, individual reflection and a web-based quiz.
