Healthy Valentines Treats

It is almost Valentine’s Day! For many of us that means Valentine’s Day Party’s for the children! As a child care center we often have parents concerned about the amount of sugary treats during the holiday parties, rest assured we do not provide these, our parents do! We are always on the hunt for fun healthy but child friendly treats for special occasions. Let me tell you it is very hard to get our 88 children to eat Heart shaped veggies. Below are just a few fun ideas that most children and the teachers at school/daycare will love.
