What is our mission?

KidShape® Foundation is a non-profit organization that focuses on family-based pediatric weight management through a culturally sensitive curriculum. The program emphasizes healthy eating habits, positive health behavior changes, positive body image, and improved physical activity.

Our program objectives are as follows:

• Increase awareness of and adoption of healthy eating habits in accordance with the 2000 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Food Guide Pyramid.
• Increase awareness of and participation in regular physical activity (at least three times a week for at least 30 continuous minutes).
• Increase awareness of and self-appreciation of positive aspects of each KidShape® participant.
• As a family, set realistic goals and be rewarded for achieving them.
