Healthy Eating And Fitness For Young Children - At Home And In Child Care

Niki Smidt

 

An important part of helping your child be ready for school success is making sure your child gets healthy meals and snacks and regular physical activity at home and in child care. Follow the simple guidelines and tips below at home, and talk to your child's caregiver about healthy eating and physical activity.

Healthy Eating

Healthy eating means choosing foods from all the food groups that will provide the nutrients (vitamins, minerals, fiber) needed for strong bodies and minds. It also means paying attention to portion and serving sizes. Portion sizes and servings should be smaller for children than for adults.

The basic food groups are:

  • Protiens (meat, poultry, fish, dry beans or peas, eggs, nuts, and seeds)
  • Dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt)
