A Glimpse of Harvest Gardens "Adventures in Learning"
The EnVision Center Floor Plans
Empowering Healthy and Yummy! Choices
Empowering Choices
We believe in empowering healthy choices in children can act as a change agent. Healthy Choices equals a Healthy Body. Hattie Mae and her friends the [pals] will integrate their modeling of authentic play and dietary selection in all aspects of programing. Research shows that animated cartoon characters such as brand mascots and licensed media characters are key marketing tools used by food companies to attract children to their products which are often high in fat, salt, and sugar. Hattie Mae and her friends the [pals] will be doing the very OPPOSITE. They will model, encourage, and promote wiser and healthier choices in an atmosphere that is fun and engaging.
