Fight against childhood obesity

The project “To the small care for our toddlers! »

took place this year in three kindergartens (Jules-Vallès, Alphonse-Daudet and Philippe-Arbos) and two nurseries (Croix-de-Neyrat and Les Vergnes). Three hundred and forty-four children aged 0 to 6 and their families have benefited from this program.

Thomas Lacheze, teacher in adapted physical activity and health in private practice, Emmanuelle Caillaud, psychomotrician in private practice, and Célia Giraudie, dietician-nutritionist at the Sens et savoirs association, have worked throughout the year within these structures.

They led workshops around food, physical activity or psychomotricity for the little ones, also addressing oral hygiene and the rhythms of life. And this, always associated with pleasure and fun in order to enhance, promote and perpetuate the practices.

Other activities, around walks and exchanges, intended only for parents, were an opportunity to discuss with health professionals

In total, nearly four hundred and sixty-five parents were able to participate in the various times offered. Promoting a balanced diet through the discovery of seasonal vegetables and fruits and the pleasure of cooking, encouraging the practice of physical activity, raising awareness of the importance of oral health are all objectives pursued throughout the project.
