I don’t usually spread the word about local programs, but this program seemed like a great program to promote for Parents who live in the Greater Boston Area. If you are expecting or have an infant or toddler at home, you may be interested in an upcoming class called First Foods for Infants and Toddlers.
The Boston Center for Adult Education is launching their new Child Enrichment program. The Child Enrichment department is called Bean City Kids and offers many different kinds of interactive daytime programs for both children and their caregivers. It features really awesome classes focused on music, cooking and gym classes and others where both children and parents will learn and interact with each other!
WHAT: Mashed peas, soggy squash and colorless carrots; most prepackaged baby foods are crammed with refined sugars, chemically modified starches, preservatives, and artificial additives. The best foods for your child aren’t available in a jar-they’re homemade! Join the Boston Center for Adult Education (BCAE) on Monday, March 7th, 2011 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM to discover how easy it can be to prepare wholesome, satisfying dishes for your baby or toddler with First Foods for Infants & Toddlers.
Whether you are introducing your baby to their first foods or promoting more fruits and vegetables, the First Foods for Infants & Toddlers class will teach you how to incorporate local vegetables, nutritious grains, and quality proteins into your child’s diet. With sweet potatoes, pears, barley, chicken and broccoli on the menu, you’ll learn how to steam, puree, and chop your way to healthier meals!
You won’t find any preservatives in this class!

Hey Jane!
This sounds like a great class for new parents. I just heard the other day that what kid’s eat during their first years can have an impact on their health/weight later in life. Introducing home-made fruits and veggies at this very young age is so important.
I love coming to your blog to see what you have been up to. I awarded you the stylish blogger award.
