Abstract:
:Dietary patterns are closely linked to healthy child development, which in turn is a powerful determinant of lifelong health and well-being. As many early years children spend a large part of their day in childcare centers, educators can have a large influence on their healthy eating behaviors. In Saskatchewan, a number of childcare centers are located in rural communities and research suggests that rural educators are influenced by unique factors when providing healthy eating opportunities for children. In order to diversify and improve the diets of rural early years children, a pulse crop intervention was piloted tested in one rural childcare center. A pre and post 28-week intervention design was used to evaluate the pulse crop intervention on increasing educators' knowledge and awareness about pulse crops and supporting educators in incorporating pulse crops into centers' menus. Overall, the intervention was effective in increasing rural educators' knowledge and use of pulse crops. Additionally, educators were able to diversify and increase the number of healthy meals offered in the childcare center. The lessons learned can be used to improve and expand the intervention to other childcare centers in Saskatchewan and beyond, in turn supporting the healthy development of early years children.
