Healthy habits can start early! Through our South Bay Community Services “Promise Neighborhood” project, Health Educators work with children from kindergarten to 3rd grade at Willow Elementary and Smythe Ave Elementary schools and provide in-person cooking classes at San Ysidro Health’s Maternal & Child Health Center. The goal of these classes is to reinforce the importance of physical activity and healthy nutrition and teach healthy habits using the MyPlate curriculum.
Classes are given in a 4-session series, covering the following topics:
- Water intake
- My Plate
- Healthy snacks
- Physical activity, including exercises for sitting, breathing, dancing, and stretching
- Fruit and Vegetable intake
How to enroll:
For more information on how to enroll your child in these classes, please contact Linda Rodriguez (Villareal) at linda.villareal@syhealth.org or (619) 662-4100, extension 3397.
