The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to examine fruit and vegetable consumption in preschoolers following a nutrition education curriculum. The main questions it aims to answer is: 1. Is this intervention consisting of nutrition education and taste-test activities able to improve fruit and vegetable consumption in preschoolers during their usual lunch meal? 2. Is the improvement of fruit and vegetable consumption sustained for at least 6 weeks after completion of the intervention? Participants in the intervention classroom will partake in 3 nutrition education sessions per week during the 6-week-long curriculum. Researchers will compare this to changes in fruit and vegetable intake of the children in the control classroom, who will undergo identical measurements, but will not participate in the curriculum.
