education program on the nutrition knowledge and dietary habits of preschoolers. The
subjects in this study were the preschoolers in a daycare center in the city of
Kwangyang, South Jeolla Province, who were at the Westem age of five. As a result of
conducting a nutrition education program 20 times, the preschoolers showed a significant
rise of scores in nutrition knowledge and dietary habits. The findings of the study
