"If we wait until our children are in school to make active play, and healthy eating the standard, we have missed our greatest opportunity."
--Rory Beil
GoFar Childcare encourages and supports childcare providers to learn more about increasing healthy eating and active living.
Childcare providers are nurturing choices and habits that will last a lifetime. By setting high standards for physical activity and healthy eating, you are growing strong minds and bodies.
Be a model environment in which children can learn, live, eat and play for a healthy future. Create physical activity and nutrition policies/standards at your childcare site. Inform parents: help them gain knowledge and parenting skills around healthy eating and active living. Signing up for GoFar Childcare will provide you the resources and ideas to create a healthy childcare!
