Helpful for Parents and Teachers

This is an excellent book for Childcare Providers and parents. The book includes helpful information on child development and nutritional needs, educational and community resources on child nutrition as well as information on cooking for medium sized groups of children in the childcare setting. It's a helpful resource for the teacher, the parent asked to run the 'cooking corner' in the weekly programme as well as the parent at home. Meals can easily be adjusted to a family sized group (although 6 preschoolers eat about the same amount as a family of two adults and two children). It's also helpful in educating parents as to what they should expect from their child's school meal programme.Its companion book, 'Teaching Children About Food' has great ideas for educating kids about food, cultural diversity, consumerism and where food comes from. It's also an excellent resource for the parent wishing to enrich the home kitchen as well as the teacher.
