Proper childhood nutrition can reinforce eating habits that contribute to children’s overall well being. These habits reinforce a healthy lifestyle that impacts one’s life from childhood to adulthood. Sanford Children’s is committed to children and their development of healthy lifestyle habits. As the community outreach arm of Sanford Children’s, CHILD Services’ staff is able to connect the many resources of Sanford Children’s and the community together to meet the needs of children and families. Through services and information, trained staff are available to assist parents, child care providers and early childhood teachers in obtaining information on children and nutrition. To access services contact us at (605) 333-0698 or email childsrv@sanfordhealth.org. |
The Growing Healthy Incentive Program for Child Care Providers is a community sponsored program. The program offers child care providers opportunities to encourage a healthy lifestyle for children by participating in healthy lifestyle activities for children and encouraging families to participate as well. There is no cost to enroll or participate in the program.
Through this program your facility can earn points that can be redeemed for Growing Healthy prizes. Points can be earned through facility and family participation in Growing Healthy events and services. These Growing Healthy events and services will be offered by Growing Healthy partners throughout the community for easy access.
You choose your facility’s Growing Healthy prize once you have reached the qualifying point.
