Fresh Food Explorers

FRESH FOOD EXPLORERS

Fresh Food Explorers is an eight-week nutrition education program for preschoolers from low-income communities, at greater risk of developing obesity and related health conditions as a result of diet. The program focuses on building a greater acceptance of vegetables to increase consumption at school and at home. A series of video lessons are paired with hands-on activities to reinforce lesson concepts and food literacy, complemented by parent educational materials to support the increased consumption of vegetables in the home. Fresh Food Explorers is offered in preschool programs for children from low-income families who are at higher risk for obesity and food insecurity.
