Healthy Bodies Nutritional Information and Fitness Activities According to leading experts in fitness and nutrition including the American Council on Exercise and the American Dietetic Association of the United States, America faces a child obesity problem. Healthy Bodies fitness and nutritional skills training and support helps foster a healthy lifestyle for the family and reinforces school readiness skills. Recent scientific research tells us that gross motor skills – like running, jumping, skipping, and throwing – as well as fine motor skills – like drawing and tying shoe laces are more important than we ever thought. Motor skills are the foundation for much of a child’s early learning. Healthy Bodies nutritional and fitness activities develop and practice the basic motor skills children need to be successful in school. Concepts presented in the Sharp Minds training are integrated and reinforced throughout Healthy Bodies nutrtional and fitness activiites in an innovative manner.

We appreciate 7-Eleven's support for our children's literacy efforts. This makes a total of 66 grants over the past eight years! IT ALL STARTS WITH BEING ABLE TO READ - The Soho Center believes that the foundation for life-long learning, literacy, and on-going school success begins at a very early age - well before school starts. One way to improve the quality of child care and prepare children for school is to ensure an enjoyable, early, and repeated exposure to good children's books and related, age-appropriate activities. The importance of reading is a major part of our REACH Initiative and this belief is at the core of our N ATIONAL C HILDREN'S L ITERACY I NFORMATION project (Click for Details) Since the majority of children in child care spend the bulk of their waking hours in family day care , this is the logical place to introduce them to books and reading-related activities.
