Eating healthy is a journey shaped by many factors, including our stage of life, situations, preferences, access to food, culture, traditions, and the personal decisions we make over time. MyPlate Kids’ Place offers ideas and tips to help you create a healthier eating style that meets your child’s individual needs and improves their health.

Team Nutrition provides a number of free materials that connect nutrition education to school and child care gardens. We also offer evidence-based curricula that educators can use to integrate garden-based nutrition education lessons into core educational subjects such as math, English language arts, and science. From small pots and container gardens to full garden plots, we have materials that can fit your needs and resources. Schools, summer sites, and child care (centers, homes, and sponsors) that participate in USDA’s Child Nutrition Programs may request free printed copies of many of these materials.
