Nutritional Awareness           
Nutritious food is the foundation for growth and development of a healthy body. Learning about healthy foods and exploring tastes, textures, and smells is part of the Head Start experience. Feeding and mealtime offer opportunities for young children to learn about their bodies, develop fine motor skills, and self-regulation. Parents and staff play important roles in ensuring that children are well-nourished.
