Dads and Healthy Foods

June is Fresh Fruit and Veggies Month!

Here at H&H Child Care Training, we are parents, former teachers, and child care providers. We know the importance of healthy eating habits from a young age. We currently offer multiple courses concerning health and nutrition for young children:

The First Year: Feeding Infants

On My Plate: Children's Nutrition

Healthy Snack Ideas for Your Classroom!

Food Groups Sorting: Children can sort play food or picture cards into the appropriate food group.

Kabobs: Children can create patterns by putting together kabobs using cut-up fruits and veggies.

Ants on a Log: Children can practice counting by making a tasty snack of celery, sunbutter (or any allergy-friendly spread), and raisins.

Food Sensory Bins: Children can string along gluten-free pasta and use plastic scoops to practice their fine-motor skills!

The Origins of Father's Day

Father's Day was first celebrated in Spokane, Washington at a YMCA. Inspired by a sermon about Mother's Day, Sonora Smart Todd wanted to honor her father, Civil War Veteran William Jackson Smart, who had raised her and her siblings as a single father, as well as other fathers nationwide.

Despite numerous efforts, Father's Day was not officially recognized as a national holiday until then-President Richard Nixon signing it into law in 1972.

International Men's Day is celebrated on November 19th for boys and men who are not fathers.
