Kids will have an opportunity to cook with a chef, practice stretching and warm-up exercises and learn about growing vegetables and fruit. In addition, there will be a segment devoted to making healthy choices when shopping and a presentation on oral hygiene.
The Happy Healthy Preschoolers Program is designed for parents of children ages one to six years. The program offers free convenient one-hour workshops to help parents and caregivers incorporate better nutrition habits and physical activities into their child’s life. Workshops are designed to be interactive, so that parents can build a support network among other parents.
