Children are like sponges—they watch and absorb knowledge, skills and values from everything and everyone around them.

At the Y, babies develop trust and security, pre-schoolers experience early literacy and learn about their world and school age kids make friends, learn new skills and do their homework.

Most importantly, children learn how to be their best selves. That makes for confi dent kids today, and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.

Karrie Benda is a Registered Dietician who has her bachelors and master’s degrees in Nutrition and Health Promotion from UW-Stevens Point and completed her Dietetic Internship at UW-Madison.

Karrie recognizes that ‘one-size-fi ts-all’ nutrition advice often fails to optimize health. Greater long term success is achieved when one’s individual health needs and goals are evaluated and a personal strategy is devised that incorporates accountability and behavior change strategies.

If you’re looking for guidance and support through nutrition, Karrie would be honored to work with you.
