THESIS STATEMENT“Overweight and obesity in children are significant public health problems in the United States (U.S.

Department of Health & Human Services, n.d). Although, there are multiple causes for childhood

obesity, lack of physical activity and unhealthy food choices are two of the main contributors to

childhood obesity. Early childhood educators are the gateway to knowledge and the first responders

in educating and responding to nutrition, health and safety, as such early childhood educators must be

knowledgeable on the latest developments in nutrition, health and safety.


TRAININGThis training will address six key

categories of specialized knowledge that shape early childhood professional

for childhood educators and provide an opportunity for parents and children to work collaboratively.

This training will provide an overview of nutrition, healthy & safety, as well as resources for early

childhood educators to gain knowledge and understanding of their role in facilitating early childhood

nutrition, health and safety.
