Gardening and Nutrition Experiences
for the Young Child
Role of the Educator:
Training professional and volunteer staff is important to the ongoing success of the project.
Because some adults are unfamiliar with the target vegetables and unsure about how to introduce them to the children, detailed background sheets for each vegetable are provided.
Guidelines to encourage staff and volunteers to serve as positive role models during snack and mealtimes when the target vegetables and new recipes are served are provided in the classrooms.
