April is National Gardening Month. Growing food helps children develop fine motor skills, provides sensory input, and supports their emotional well-being. Children are also more likely to try a veggie or fruit they helped grow! Check out our #HarvestoftheMonth family newsletter for tips and a kid-friendly recipe featuring legumes: https://bit.ly/3vx8Yh8

Parents and grandparents at Rockmart Head Start completed a four-class nutrition educations series led by QCC’s nutrition team. They practiced reading labels, learned how cooking with kids supports math skills and problem solving, and cooked new foods like an avocado and white bean wrap, blueberry cottage cheese pancakes, and more! This program is part of QCC’s Farm to ECE work with Tallatoona Community Action Partnership (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100082078306981), and is made possible with funding from USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program- SNAP.
