PK1 Pumpkin Exploration

Everyone felt a little different about the pumpkin exploration today in PK1. Some loved the slippery, slimy and squishy feel while others needed more information on what was waiting on the inside. Overall they had a really great time.

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.
