Hello Cooking Matters Partners!!

Fall is a busy time for the Cooking Matters for Child Care Professionals (CMCCP) program as families and teachers get back into the swing of the school year. There are several scheduled CMCCP courses coming up with open spaces. Interested participants can learn more information and register at www.CookingMattersColorado.Eventbrite.com. Feel free to share the course list and registration link to Childcare professionals in your network that may be interested in the training!

Culture of Wellness in Preschools!
Cooking Matters is partnering with Culture of Wellness in Preschools! The Culture of Wellness in Preschools is a collaborative intervention aimed at promoting a “culture of wellness” in Head Starts and preschools in Colorado. This project includes the implementation of a range of programs and activities aimed at increasing daily healthy eating and physical activity for preschool students, staff and parents.

Cooking Matters is working to implement Childcare Professionals courses, Parent’s courses, and our new Cooking Matters at the Store PLUS (CMATS+) activity at preschools and head starts across Colorado as part of our Culture of Wellness initiative.

For those interested in bringing a CMCCP training to their community – we are now scheduling courses through 2016! Contact myself (hknoll@strength.org or 303-801-0319) or Ally Lee (alee@strength.org or 303-801-0321) for more information and/or to discuss details.

Thank you for your continued support. We’re excited to finish the year off strong with courses and look forward to continued success and partnership into 2016.
