Making Healthy Food Choices

🌟 September Spotlight: Healthy Food, Happy Kids!


September is here, and that means fresh routines, new adventures, and plenty of chances to help our preschoolers grow healthy habits! At Stretch-n-Grow, we believe learning about nutrition should be FUN—so we mix movement, play, and food education into every lesson.


💪 Strong Bodies, Healthy Habits

Preschool years are the perfect time to build a foundation for lifelong wellness. We keep it simple—balanced meals, lots of play, and celebrating what our bodies can DO (not how they look!). In class, kids learn about healthy foods through games, stories, and movement—making it exciting to choose fruits and veggies.


🍎 This Month’s Adventures

Our September themes keep kids moving and learning:

    •    Farmers Market – shopping for colorful fruits & veggies.

    •    All Star Athletes – sports games that connect food to energy.

    •    Let’s Go Camping – making “healthy trail mix” for pretend adventures.

    •    Handy Helpers – helping prep snacks like veggie sticks.


🏡 Easy Tips for Home

    •    Try new veggies together at family meals.

    •    Play outdoors daily—it builds strong appetites for healthy food.

    •    Use positive language like, “This apple gives us energy to run!”

    •    Be the model—let kids explore flavors without pressure.


This month is all about helping kids discover that healthy choices = happy bodies + more energy for play. Thanks for joining us in building strong, confident little stars! 🌟
