LEAP with Trinity Christian Academy
Author: Danielle Fairchild
Planning Unit: Lawrence County CES
Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
The Lawrence County Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program (SNAP-Ed) assistant partnered with Trinity Christian Academy School to provide LEAP (Literacy, Eating and Activity for Preschool/Primary) to preschool-age children. The SNAP-Ed assistant visited two classrooms six times. During each visit, the SNAP-Ed assistant read a LEAP book; provided a healthy snack related to the story book; and provided a SNAP-Ed reinforcement item for each child to take home. A total of 35 preschoolers were enrolled.
Recently, the SNAP-Ed assistant was approached by a mother of one of the preschoolers who stated, “My child never drinks milk at home, but he now asked for milk with his dinner because of the “mood cup” he brought home from school.” The mother went on to say how her child has continued to drink milk at home more often because of the “mood cup.”
