Good for Me! Program
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”- World Health Organization, 1948
A free culturally relevant curriculum that engages three to five year olds in healthy eating and physical activity by introducing them to a diverse range of fruits and vegetables, hands on activities and activity play.
With generous support from the Walmart Foundation and Pfizer Foundation, the National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI) has developed the Good for Me! program, a key component of our national initiative to promote culturally relevant healthy nutrition and fitness practices among Black families with young children. Since 2011, we have reached more than 80,000 individuals, including children, parents, caregivers, and teachers, nationwide. The goal of our initiative is to improve outcomes for young children of color by providing strengths-based resources that reflect our children’s families, cultures, and communities.
