Preschools, Daycares & Day Homes
Nutrition Workshops for Early Childhood Educators
I am approved to offer two presentations as a part of the Alberta Childcare Grant funding program. Through this program, daycares/day home agencies can receive $50 per ECE employee reimbursement and 1.5 hours of release time for each workshop.
Each workshop will consist of a 60-minute presentation and 30 minute Q&A. One presentation is titled “How to Teach Picky Eaters to Try New Foods Without a Battle”, and the other is titled “How to Feed & Educate Children to Create a Positive Relationship with Food”.
Check out the learning outcomes for each presentation here and contact us to book a workshop for your educators.

“We have had the opportunity to work with Jennifer to analyze our menus based on the meals that we provide to our students in our program. She was very helpful in food recommendation to improve what we offer. Her expertise provided us with information regarding what to look for in labels, how to make meals less time consuming, and more. We chose to work with Jennifer because she understood what our program strive for towards providing healthy meals to children which impacts their development. Thank you Jennifer for sharing your knowledge and helping us learn more.”

“We operate a small daycare and decided to seek the advice of a dietitian in order to ensure that we were providing the best, most balanced nutrition possible to the children in our care. First Step Nutrition designs two-week alternating menus for us, which we change three times per year. These menus introduce the children to new, interesting, healthy food choices and are very kid friendly. The children love the meals and snacks we serve them and their parents love knowing that we offer only the best food choices. The menus also make preparation easier for us. Working with Jennifer has really improved our quality of care and is remarkably affordable.”
