Wild About Wellness: 9th Annual Symposium

Description

This symposium brings together parents, educators, caregivers, and others who work with young children. This year's theme is Wild About Wellness: Growing Healthy Children in Mind, Body, and Spirit. This theme underscores the importance of building our children's capacity to learn how to live and grow mentally, physically, and emotionally as they incorporate a spirit of wellness by making wise choices with food, physical and mental fitness, and lifestyles. This focus will inspire our participants to guide children to make good choices that will lead to lifelong healthiness and happiness.
