From The Daily Mail?..

A healthy body fuels a healthy mind, and parents of children enrolled in the local Early Childhood Learning Center/Head Start program (ECLC/HS) just finished up a six-week course designed to enhance culinary skills and establish sound fitness habits.

Registered dietitian Jean Bottillo-Faulisi conducted the ?Eat Well, Play Hard? (EWPH) course at Head Start?s Catskill location at 66 William St., the former St. Patrick?s Parish School, and parents were introduced a variety of alternatives to common snacks to improve both health and behavior among growing youngsters.

On average about 15 parents per week participated in the series, offered free of charge.

The EWPH program is offered by the NYS Health Department as a childhood obesity prevention initiative. The program was also taken into the classrooms, where the children were introduced to healthy eating and exercise options.
