Our mission is to provide opportunities and access to children and families in underserved communities that advance and enrich their lives for a lifetime.


is an early childhood nutrition and fitness initiative to inspire healthy habits for life. It is the flagship program of Sound Bodies for Life, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
The Food Discovery Fun Labs™ is a novel approach to establishing healthy eating and good fitness habits in young children.
Because we know that the power of Play, Music, and Technology
can help children and families realize healthy behaviors that last a lifetime.

WHAT'S UNIQUE
?
Our Ambition
Create scalable programming and experiences that will help families regardless of income to realize healthy behaviors—in much the same way that Sesame Street revolutionized literacy and numeracy education for all preschoolers and the way in which Schoolhouse Rock! made learning grammar, civics, history, math, and economics both fun and memorable.
Our Target
We’ll engage young children (3-9 years old) directly to actively participate in their own nutritional health and fitness and empower them to become influencers for change in their families and communities.
A multi-pronged approach blanketing all spheres of influence—parents and caregivers, schools, peers, entire neighborhoods, and popular culture—to impact young children.


Our Approach
Entertainment that Educates
A curriculum rooted in music and dance will teach young children relevant and age-appropriate good nutrition and fitness essentials. (Yep, just like School House Rock and Sesame Street!)
Physical play, hands-on experiential learning, and interactive technology seamlessly integrated to focus on both nutrition and fitness.
Shifting Cultural Norms
We believe that providing access to fresh fruits and vegetables is a single-tier strategy that does not guarantee behavior change. Shifting cultural norms and habits surrounding food and fitness will create broader generational change within communities.
Ongoing opportunities for healthcare stakeholders to learn more about the barriers and drivers to positive health behaviors in order to influence better outcomes.
