Healthy Snacks and Your Preschooler

Healthy snacks are an essential part of a growing child’s diet. Childhood is a critical time for growth and development, and snacks provide important nutrients that your child needs between meals. During the week, this means children should have a nutritious midmorning and midafternoon snack at school to meet the nutrient demands of their growing bodies and brains.
Making snacks convenient and fun will convince even the pickiest eater. Try to include fresh fruits and veggies, make a healthy dip with greek yogurt or hummus. You can make a smoothie and sneak in veggies. Let them help make their snacks and pick the ingredients. Today at The Academy of Gateway we will have a grab and go snack at pickup. Happy snacking!
