Healthy Snack
"As children mature from infant to toddler hood and beyond, what they eat affects their growth, development, learning ability, and general behavior. Because of the rapid growth that takes place during these early years, infants and small children need ample supplies of nutrients. They need to be fed the correct variety of foods. Its makes sense then, that the quality of the food given to your infant or toddler be of the highest nutritional value".
BABY LET’S EAT! By Rena Coyle.
Therefore, in My Little School, we encourage appropriate eating habits, and suggest the following snacks that children must bring to school.
