THE NECESSITY OF NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN KINDERGARTEN

In today’s rapidly advancing society, comprehensive care and development for children from their early years have become a top priority for parents. Recognizing this importance, Ba Thien Kindergarten has implemented numerous nutrition and physical activity programs, aimed at ensuring holistic development for children, catering to the needs of families with high economic conditions.

1. Comprehensive Nutrition for Children

At Ba Thien Kindergarten, we believe in the motto “You are what you eat”. Therefore, the nutrition plan is designed with the goal of providing children with a balanced diet, rich in essential nutrients such as protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, while minimizing sugar and unhealthy fats. The daily menu is meticulously planned to ensure it is not only delicious but also meets the developmental needs of each age group.

 

2. Physical Activity 

Besides nutrition, physical activity is an indispensable part of the education program at Ba Thien Kindergarten. We offer a range of physical activities designed to develop children’s motor skills, endurance, and agility, including morning exercises, sports classes like soccer, swimming, and even yoga for children. These programs are designed not only to enhance physical strength but also to stimulate mental development, helping children cultivate patience, focus, and team spirit.
