CHAPTER 1 1.0 Introduction
This chapter focused focus on the background of the study, statement of the problem, purpose of the study, objectives of the study and significance of the study, limitation and delimitations and finally definition of operational terms.
1.1 Background to the Study
Nutrition is very paramount among children and therefore it should be upheld in ECDE Centres. To start off, it entails a balanced diet which will facilitate good health among children hence promote purposeful learning. The food children eat is supposed to be prepared well so that it cannot cause a negative effect on children. This will deter the smooth progression of learning. We should also prepare our meals well to make nutrition appropriate for the learners. Tumbo (2005) observes that vitamins are destroyed when food is excessively cooked.
Barbaric nutrition will also cause side effects on mental development of the child which will in turn inhibit high standards of hygiene while preparing food. Morley and Woodland (1979), stresses that undernourishment leads to permanent damage of the children’s intellectual development. In serious cases some of the ECDE Children have fallen victims of physical deformation and under development due to poor practices given to them.
Early childhood Development Education children’s balanced nutrition should maintain the rule of three elementary aspects, thus proteins, carbohydrates and vitamins. According to Kagunda (2003), Food for children is to be rich in carbohydrates, proteins vitamins, fats, and oils and minerals to keep them free from deficiency diseases. This balance diet when infused into nutrition, it hampers the cropping up of nutritional deficiency diseases which have made many of the ECDE Children unhealthy yet they were born while they are very healthy.
A good fraction of ECDE children appear extremely under malnutrition due to inadequate food provided for them. This make children appear withdrawn from classroom
