NStep

NSTEP is focused on building healthy habits for children, for life! We are an education hub of scientific, evidence based knowledge that focuses on teaching healthy habits for children, for life. We want their brains to be powered and nourished through healthy eating and physical activity. Nutrition and activity build better brains and bodies. NSTEP is different than other health promotion programs in its success at being accepted, integrated and supported by school staff and administration at all levels of the education system. Our program is sought after by teachers because it provides curriculum and activities that teaches children and youth how to build communities inside the places they spend the greater part of their lives. The program provides opportunities to: Connect children in different school levels with each other Provides older children a vehicle to mentor younger children Provides examples of actions they can do to meet these goals Provides teachers with research supported methods to address nutrition and healthy living within the proscribed curriculum Provides administrators a research supported method of incorporating wellness across a wide population of ages and abilities Fraser Health BC Medical Health Officer has endorsed NSTEP as an approved program/initiative school nutrition resources Interdisciplinary approach with well qualified NSTEP coordinators with backgrounds in education, nursing, dietetics Online, in person program delivery for knowledge transfer NSTEP_Run_Grandpa_Picture_1_ snackattackstmartha
