Nibbles for Health: Nutrition Newsletters
for Parents of Young Children
Nibbles for Health was developed for child care center staff and parents of young children enrolled in child care centers. Nibbles has been updated and the CD offers child care center staff guidance on conducting discussions with parents in four sharing sessions. It also has 40 reproducible newsletters that staff can give to parents to address many of the challenges they face. Four posters and packages of two mini-posters come with the CD.
