Fun with Food

TVCC Fun with Food Program is an exciting program for children and caregivers who would benefit from opportunities to learn and explore a variety of foods. In this program, we will focus on increasing a child’s comfort level with foods by exploring and interacting with food in a playful, non-stressful way. Parents/Caregivers will be supported in exploring along with their children. This group would be beneficial for children who are not ready for a structured, sit-down type of group and are at an exploratory level of play. Children who are currently reluctant to or are stressed by exploring various food textures and smells are welcome to attend with their parent/caregiver.
