We’re passionate about feeding little minds and tummies
Hey there! I’m Dani, the mama and pediatric dietitian behind Kid Food Explorers.
Kid Food Explorers was born from my curious palate and passion for food and nutrition education. As a dietitian, I know how important it is to help kids form positive eating habits as they grow. But as a mom of three, I also know that getting kids interested in trying new foods can be a huge challenge for many families, mine included.
I believe healthy kids are more than the foods they consume; raising healthy kids is about helping them develop a healthy relationship with food.
Our goal at Kid Food Explorers is to create memorable food experiences for kids that shape the foundation for a lifetime of happy and healthy eating. We believe that food should be fun! And it’s our mission to educate kids (and their grown-ups!) about food in a playful, hands-on, pressure-free way.
