food & nutrition
Food is an integral part of the general program.
Mealtimes are not just about being fed, they are also involve education and the development of social skills. Meals times involve educating children about food so they can grow to understand the impact diet has on our overall well-being. By exposing children to good food and good eating habits, we establish proper life-long eating practices.
There is also the social aspect of mealtimes; by creating positive experiences during meals, we create awareness of the importance of social norms and help children develop crucial social skills around eating and dining.
