What is the Littlespoons Program

The Littlespoons program, an initiative of the non-profit organization “Mathaino Diatrofi”, aims to support children and their families reintroduce the Mediterranean way of eating and develop important nutritional skills.

The program is aimed at multiple settings: public and private schools and preschools, charitable foundations, non-profit organizations, municipalities, parent associations, camps, clubs, private companies etc.

All activities are available October through July and can be implemented according to the needs and requests of our beneficiaries.

The success of the littlespoons program

The littlespoons program enhances the nutritional knowledge of parents and teachers and gives them practical tools in order to support children develop important nutritional skills that will protect them from childhood obesity and eating disorders. Nutrition education activities for the children have been specifically designed in order to support eating competence as well as the development of a healthy relationship to food and body.

Our approach is integrative, person-center, science-based, non-diet. Our content is developed by a team of experts according to the guidelines of the World Health Organization, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the Ellyn Satter Institute.
