Starting Healthy Habits Early for a Successful Future

Did you know?
Most children don't get the right balance of nutrients in their diet. *

On average:

60% of children don't eat the recommended amount of fruits.

90% of children don't eat the recommended amount of vegetables.

20% of vegetables children eat are either french fries or potato chips.

Does this describe your child's diet? If so, our classes can guide you in the right direction. These classes aren’t like school and there are no tests. Instead there will be games, activities, and food samples to build healthy habits at an impressionable age. If your child is a COPC patient and you want to improve their nutrition, we encourage you to attend classes and bring them along.

We care about your child’s well-being in all areas and that includes the food they eat. Families are busier than ever in today’s world and nutrition may be an afterthought, but our program is here to help. Eating a healthy variety of food doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming. There are many tips and tricks to bump up your child’s nutrition that we can help you discover. Come to one of our classes for more information.
