Course Summary

We all know how important it is to engage in healthy habits. There are physical and mental health benefits from eating proper foods, drinking water and milk, and getting plenty of exercise. It may be easy to make changes in an early education setting through policies and practices, but it can be challenging to ensure these healthy habits are practiced when children are at home. This proprietary Think Small Institute course will provide information and suggestions for ways to partner with families to ensure children have opportunities to practice healthy habits at home just like they do in your program.
