Gainesville Empowerment Zone Family Learning Center

Healthy eating habits start earlier than we sometimes realize. 🥕🍓

From first bites to toddler favorites, the foods children are introduced to help shape their tastes, routines, and relationship with food as they grow.

At GEZFLC, we know that nourishing growing bodies is part of nurturing the whole child. Through the meals and snacks we serve each day, we’re intentional about giving children opportunities to experience nutritious foods, explore different tastes and textures, and build healthy habits along the way.

Swipe through for a few simple, practical tips for feeding infants and toddlers and some ideas families can use at home, too.

Small bites. Lots of learning. Healthy habits growing right alongside them. 💛
