Abstract/Notes: Poor dietary habits in childhood can lead to obesity and chronic diseases later in life. Increasing children's nutrition knowledge and liking of fruits and vegetables are key factors in improving diet quality. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a nutrition program on knowledge, liking and intake of fruits and vegetables in Montessori students. Clustered-randomized control trial conducted in a Southeastern US Montessori school. Children aged 4-6 years old (intervention, n = 22; control, n = 29) participated in a 4-week nutrition education with taste testing of 12 fruits and vegetables. Nutrition knowledge, fruit and vegetable liking, and intake were measured with questionnaires, and analyzed using repeated measures analysis of covariance and descriptive analyses (SPSS v.23); significance defined as p < 0.05. Controlling for covariates, significant between group effects for nutrition knowledge (F = 24.16, p < 0.001) and liking tomatoes (F = 7.01, p = 0.01) were found. The intervention group increased vegetable intake (Hedges' g = 1.01) compared to the control, although it was not significant between groups (F = 1.95, p = 0.17). Initial examination of this program indicates that it was effective in increasing knowledge, vegetable liking and intake for young children in the sample. More research is needed to compare outcomes between educational delivery methods.

Abstract/Notes: Wherever elementary school students sprout beans, grow sugar crystals from solution, and count the number of robins in their yards, the Handbook exerts its influence. When Mario's American emissary Nancy Rambusch requested more scientific rigor in the training process, as well as other changes, Mario refused, and they parted ways in 1963 (Whitescarver & Cossentino, 2006, p. 4). Since this schism, the Early Childhood science area has not evolved much in AMS or AMI teacher education. In a widely circulated position paper, the National Science Teachers Association stated that "learning science and engineering in the early years can foster children's curiosity and enjoyment in exploring the world and lay the foundation for a progression of science learning in K-12 settings and their entire lives" (NSTA, 2014, p. 1). Adding physical science to the Early Childhood curriculum, as well as introducing engineering and technology, seems especially relevant given that: [The] National Science Foundation's Discovery Research K-12 program has begun to solicit and fund proposals to study science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educational programs that support prekindergarten children and those who teach them.
