At my program, I take pride in serving nutritious meals and snacks. We have celebrated CACFP week for two years and plan to again this year! I love the challenge of coming up with creative and healthy snacks. I love to have my preschoolers help prepare their snacks or meals. We grow fruits, vegetables and herbs both inside and outside, which teaches children where their food comes from, helps them learn how to care for plants and what is needed for them to thrive and teaches them life cycles. This spring we are planting a colors of the rainbow garden!
My preschoolers and I celebrated CACFP week everyday with fun snacks and meals! Not only did we have delicious and nutritious foods, but we also learned about the importance of healthy foods and how they help our bodies grow big and strong. We had so much fun celebrating!
