This is a research project by a teacher as part of an early childhood graduate program. With guidance from a university professor, the teacher carried out a cross-curricular nutrition education project with children. Although the parents and the teacher recognized the importance of the children’s health and nutrition, they also needed to know how to encourage their children to select the right kind of nutritional food for healthy development. The teacher initiated the project, which was continued at home by the parents, so creating a school-home connection. It is when teachers and parents take the time to educate and guide young children on how to eat that these children pick up more appropriate eating habits and have the potential to monitor their own food choices on an everyday basis.
