Program Information

We want to make sure being healthy is accessible—and fun—for kids of all ages. If your child is enrolled in our Early Childhood Education (ages 2-5), School-Age (ages 5-12) or YOU (ages 12-18) program, they’ll have the opportunity to learn about healthy nutrition and food choices, be active and develop positive self-esteem through our Super H program.

Your child must first be enrolled in one of our programs for children and youth in order to participate in Super H.
