  • Having a trainer to guide me to help better my program for my kids was really beneficial. It helped open my eyes to a wider assortment of nutrition and physical activity related things I’m able to do with my kids.
  • It was helpful having a second set of eyes looking at our policies so that we can provide the children with the best care.
  • Having a trainer to refer to and help us along with ideas and having her offer free materials to us to help us meet our goals.
  • Talking to your instructor and other providers gives you LOTS of helpful ideas and information.
