Eating Between the Lines Project
Eating Between the Lines is an early literacy, healthy eating program for children and their families. Researchers Dr. Ray Doiron from the UPEI Department of Education and Dr. Jennifer Taylor from the UPEI Department of Family & Nutritional Sciences worked with child care facilities to develop and pilot an exciting literacy and healthy eating program for kindergarten children. The project resulted in an interactive website which provides educators and parents with access to healthy eating and literacy materials and resources.
