| Impact Report | PRESCHOOL NUTRITION FOR HEAD START STAFF New staff members of Rio Rancho Head Start who are unaware of a preschoolers’ recommended daily intake and serving size from each of the food groups. The Home Economist presented at the Head Start Staff Pre-Training by coordinating with the children services coordinator. Resources and information related to “Baby’s First Wish” and MyPyramid.gov was provided to staff to share with parents. Staff was given MyPyramid posters, bookmarks, coloring sheets on hand washing, healthy snack idea handout, and Eat Smart Play Hard activity sheets to share with parents and/or use at their facility. Staff learned the recommended daily intake, of preschoolers, from each of the food groups and how much a serving size is through food model examples. A food safety PowerPoint presentation was given using guidelines from the USDA and MyPyramid.gov. Ninety percent of the thirty-five participants said they felt comfortable serving correct serving sizes to preschoolers as well as answering parent’s questions or referring them to resources available to find their answers. |
