This will teach them about appropriate meal patterns, meal planning, and food groups. Try to have menus in the language that most of the parents speak. Ask a parent to help translate if necessary. Put together a cookbook of the children's favorite recipes. Make it into a booklet that could be a gift for parents.
Young children learn most of their food preferences at home.
Parents teach children by the foods they serve and what they eat in front of their children. Work with parents so their children enjoy learning about food. Some examples are making a snack, going shopping, storing food, or growing food in a windowbox. This will allow the parent to be involved in the child's learning experiences. Invite parents to visit at snack and meal time.
