Introducing RFRK’s #RealFoodTips Contest!
In honour of ECE & CCW Appreciation Day on October 24th, we’re thrilled to bring back our annual contest to celebrate YOU, our amazing child care champions! And to all the Child Care Workers, Early Childhood Educators, and RECEs who work hard to nurture the children in our community—THANK YOU! This is our way of continuing to show gratitude for all that you do.
This year, we’re switching it up to learn more about some of your favourite, valuable tips for inspiring kids to eat nutritious foods. As experts who work with little ones every day, the special bonds you create help foster good eating habits & healthy futures. Your knowledge is not only meaningful to these kids & their families, but to us as well!Â
