Quotes from Families:

"Katie (four years old) and her seven-year-old brother helped me make the sesame green beans – the whole family ate it – even my husband, the I-won’t-eat-anything-green person, ate it! "

"My three-year-old daughter told me, 'Mom, you have to learn to try new things. ' "

"I love this program. I really hope it will still be offered in two years when my son, our finickiest eater, will be in preschool."

"Zach, the youngest of my three children, considers the Early Sprouts take-home recipes as 'his work'. We prepare the recipe together while his siblings do their homework. Once finished, we share the snack as a family."

"Before this program, I had never thought about having my three year old assist in the kitchen! What a precious 'together' time! "

"My son went from being excited about dinosaurs to being excited about squash … we have eight varieties in our home right now."
