For too long, schools have added to the epidemic of unhealthy eating among our nation's children.  At TBTST's Early Childhood Center, in Tamarac, we're doing something to help fix it.  Our parents and administration partner to bring healthy foods to our children and to encourage our children to taste foods they may not have tried before.  While on Fruity Fridays, each child takes a turn to bring in fruit for the whole class to eat for snack, on Tasty Tuesdays our focus is largely on vegetables- in an effort to help our children overcome their reluctance and taste these powerhouses of nutrition.  Taking a developmental and respectful approach, we never force the children to taste, rather we encourage them to explore the food with all of their senses including taste if and when they're ready.
