S'Mores Under the Stars

Last Thursday we had our first ever S'Mores Under the Stars event. And while the rain pushed us indoors, we made the best of it and still had an amazing time! There was dinner for all families and activities set up in each classroom. The children got to enjoy searching for plastic spider rings, a pumpkin ring toss, monster mash dance party complete with lasers and bubbles, corn kernel sensory station, decorating pumpkins, and our spooky mystery bowls. What we loved most was the family time spent together. We look forward to this event next year when we hope the weather cooperates better and we get to have it outside.

Monster cookies!

Campfire cupcakes!

Candy corn fruit parfaits.

Based out of Louisville, KY, family owned Never Grow Up, Inc. operated nearly 30 child development centers in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana.

Getting a Jump on Childhood Obesity

Healthy habits are instilled at a young age, with most habits being formed during adolescence. We feel it important to instill good habits at an early age, addressing behavioral factors that contribute to overweight and obesity from the beginning.

The Gold Sneaker initiative was developed to enhance policy related to physical activity and nutrition within licensed child care facilities across Tennessee. Policies we've adopted include minimum requirements on physical activity, sedentary activities, breastfeeding, meal time, behaviors, portion sizes, and a tobacco-free facility.

Together, we can create healthy habits for life.
