Pediatrics Nutrition and Childcare

Nutrition in childcare provides a variety of resources to support early care and education professionals and families with information about healthy eating, active living, child development and child health. Optimal nutrition in early childhood not only supports growth and development to the child's full potential, but it can also initiate and reinforce healthy eating habits that contribute to overall health and well-being, and that may extend into later childhood and beyond.
