The Veggiecation© Program is a nutrition education program that introduces young children to the wonderfully delicious and nutritious world of vegetables. This is done by incorporating unique and kid-friendly vegetable preparations into fun activities and exciting experiences. By replacing food fears and resistance with ownership and positive peer pressure, your children are empowered to expand their horizons while simultaneously improving their nutritional status and knowledge.
Utilizing existing resources, Veggiecation is able to seamlessly integrate into any classroom and lunch program without burdening full curriculums and tight budgets. Educators, administrators, and food service directors alike have enthusiastically adopted Veggiecation. It has found a welcomed place in science, english, art, music and physical education classes, as well as, school wide assemblies. Parents have applauded and praised the accomplishments of the program; noting their children’s improved eating habits at home and increased willingness to explore new foods. Most rewarding is Veggiecation’s ability to bring together an entire school community through tasty dishes and better health. |
