Nutrition and Healthy Eating Program
At Nakruma Childcare Center, we believe in fostering healthy habits from an early age. Our curriculum includes hands-on activities like gardening, cooking projects, and interactive taste-testing to teach children the importance of nutrition in a fun and engaging way.
We also implement family-style meal service to support children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and fine motor development. This approach allows children to explore new foods at their own pace while teachers provide encouragement. By giving children the freedom to choose what and how much to eat, we promote confidence and a willingness to try new foods. Additionally, we use reusable plates, cups, and utensils to reinforce healthy eating habits and sustainability.
