What Early Childhood Professionals are Saying

  • "Having a tool like this would give them a first line to check in, without having the RD come out."

    — Program Director

  • "Feeding time is a really nice natural place to sort of cross over the social emotional with the nutrition, with a prevention sense."

    — Program Director

  • "We had 4400 children and had one dietitian. This will ability to support complex cases substantially.

    — Former Program Director

  • I see so many patients a day. Easy Bites helps me quickly share resources with parents and teams based on the child's feeding situation.

    Early Intervention Dietitian

  • I do not think early childhood educators, leaders, even myself have thought about the mealtime–behavior connection: If you can eat, the body doesn't eat when it's anxious. So when you can eat, you can almost trick your brain into saying 'I'm actually safe.'

    - Program Director

Supporting Head Start Performance Standards

We are all about the long-term goal of raising a child who has a psychologically healthy relationship with food.

Our foundation is the responsive feeding approach that is the gold standard for feeding at Head Start. It is recommended by the AAP and the WHO and can reduce feeding issues by 70% and can reduce nutrition risk by 40%*.
