UMass-Dartmouth
Assistant
Professor Meredith Dove, Ph.D., worked with United
Neighbors of Fall River and Partners
for a Healthier Community to organize a cafe model session with
pre-school provider staff on nutrition and physical activity. Held in
the new YMCA
Learning Center on May 22, 2015, the session invited staff to
discuss three questions: 1)
What
are some positive nutrition or physical activity practices currently in
place in your setting?; 2)
What are some areas in which you feel your site could improve?; and 3)
Which resources or support would help your site to implement new
nutrition or physical activity practices? |
