Nutrition in Early Learning and Child Care

This page is for Early Learning and Child Care (ELCC) professionals, developed by Public Health Dietitians at Alberta Health Services.

Our goal is to share tools and resources that support healthy growth, build food skills, and help children develop a healthy relationship with food.
