The Middletown Kiwanis Club's Young Children Priority One Committee Co-Chairs Retired Dietitian Damini Radhakrishnan and DPLTG Sue Sheehan recently conducted a Nutrition Program for 60 pre-school children at the Agri-Business Childcare Development Center in Middletown.

The project involved the use of four food group models to teach them to recognize the importance of each group and how they provide the nutrients needed for good health. At the end of the program for the four classes, each class was presented a set of the four food group models for use in their classroom. During the program, the children were also visited by a Kiwanis member dressed up as a strawberry, along with two ABCD Staff as a grapes and an apple. The committee co-chairs will revisit the children at a future time to see what they learned from the project.
