Encouraging children to eat vegetables early on is important in helping to develop a love for these foods necessary to our diets. At Creative Years we encourage children to try a variety of vegetables, even just a bite, with the hope that in time they will come to like them. Now that the growing season is almost here we will be serving a variety of fresh, local vegetables both at lunch and snack.
