Health & nutrition

Young children need to develop healthy eating and physical activities early on. Children pattern habits after parents and caregivers. Good role models are important. Preschoolers quickly grow and change physically, mentally and socially. Preschoolers need healthy food to meet their growth and developmental needs. All young children need help to establish patterns of good eating for their present well-being and for a healthy life. The Educators at Hamilton Community Preschool help children learn about healthy eating, and it is important for families to follow our Healthy Eating policies and send nutritious food each day for morning tea and lunch.
