Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP)HELP Program - Healthy Eating and Learning through Play 
HELP training and assistance program for childcare centers and preschoolsThe HELP program is a year-long project to assist Bloomington, Edina and Richfield facilities adopt policies and best practices for healthy eating and activity. Eating healthy and keeping active is key to a young child's growth and development. Because many children spend time in childcare/preschool settings, the routines and practices of these environments are critical to the development of healthy behaviors. Creating a healthy environment requires time and commitment, but Bloomington Public Health can HELP.
Here's what workshop attendees had to say:
"Parents tell me their kids eat better at home since we've started the LANA
program."
“What a wealth of great, workable applications for preschool! I have
already used two of the ideas from the manual, tied them into our literacy, and the kids
have loved it!”
“After using LANA this year, there was a 63% increase in the number of
children that would eat most anything served at snack time. Parents were
thrilled!”
"Children have responded well to the new snack ideas, and of course they love the physical activity. Thank you for enabling this healthy change."
