Northland Kansas City Montessori School Announces Childhood Obesity & Culinary Arts Curriculum with Kids

Posted By: Noel Hundley

I want to share a podcast from Mandy Frayer, director of curriculum at Smithville Montessori Academy, who speaks about SMA’s two-week Culinary Art Program July 26, to fight childhood obesity. This program will promote a healthy balanced diet by teaching food groups and the food pyramid to help children become more responsible of their diets. We hope this will benefit children by creating awareness to the national childhood obesity problem.

Listen to the podcast
 

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a healthy balanced diet help children’s bodies grow and develop healthy and decreases risks of health problems such as cardiovascular diseases. Childhood obesity is caused by unbalanced meals and inactive lifestyles, according to CDC.

SMA’s Culinary Arts Curriculum, will help children at a young age understand healthy eating and the benefit of an active lifestyle to help prevent childhood obesity in our area.

July 26, Smithville Montessori Academy will start a two week program: The Culinary Arts Program. This will teach children about healthy eating, meal planning and cooking fundamental.

It is important for children to understand and take responsibility of what they are putting in their bodies. Childhood obesity and world hunger are not only national issues, but world issues. Children need to be involved in the search for solutions to better our nation.

They will learn the food groups, the food pyramid, how to plan a balanced meal and how to shop for a balanced meal. When a child is well nourished we know they perform better academically, are more focused and are more socially involved because they are happier and feel better more active. This will help them become more responsible and accountable of what is going into their bodies and how theycan actively participate in meal planning at home.
