Host father will also provide traditional American breakfasts to begin the morning feeling energetic! Organic vegetables can be picked up from the host family’s backyard garden too. Joy Kids’ Theater’s staff will promote healthy eating habits. Some picky eaters may come home with new and healthy eating habits at the end of the day!!!!!
