Get Healthy Philly has developed materials to support the Philadelphia Board of Health recommendations around beverages and screen time in early childhood education. The recommendations state:

• No sweetened drinks in early childhood settings.
• No fruit juice, (including 100% juice) in early childhood settings.
• Water should be available and easily accessible to children throughout the day and offered with meals and snacks.
• Screen time for children aged two years and older limited to 30 minutes per week.
• No screen time for children under age two in early childhood settings.

Get Healthy Philly developed a series of printable cards to emphasize the big rewards that can come from making small dietary changes. You can view and download the cards below.
