Family Style Mealtime: Developing Math

Family Style dining is a powerful learning experience for young children. Mealtimes are a great opportunity to incorporate motor skill development as well as math and science building blocks into daily routines. For Head Start, this practice also meets performance standards to support development and learning, socialization, and foster communication.

  1. Examine how family style dining impacts cognitive development.
  2. Recognize teacher concerns and learn how to support them.
  3. Review Head Start Performance standards for mealtimes.
