What should be considered in setting up a Breakfast Program?
Most Breakfast Programs operate locally through the efforts of community volunteers. Collaborative Programs between schools and communities seem to work best. Some important considerations in planning a Program are the financial resources, the food and nutrient content, and the facilities and personnel required to prepare and serve the food. It is also important to find out how parents, teachers, and students view the Program and to evaluate whether it has met its goals of improving food intake, behaviour, academic performance, nutrition knowledge or quality of life.
