The purpose of this study was to describe the lived experience of parents providing a nutritious diet to their preschoolers during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the COVID-19 environment, preschoolers may not have been able to obtain nutritious meals. Closure of schools and businesses, lack of food supplies, restricted travel, and unemployment could have led to restricted access to a nutritious diet at school and at home. The study employed a phenomenological descriptive qualitative approach of Giorgi to explore the knowledge and lived experiences of parents/guardians of preschoolers with respect to their children's diet during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research questions that provided the primary focus of this study were: (a) What is the lived experience of the parents/guardians in providing a nutritious diet for preschool children at home during a pandemic?, (b) What is the knowledge level of parents/guardians regarding recommended nutritional intake for their preschool child?, (c) What challenges did the parents/guardians experience in terms of providing a nutritious diet during the pandemic?, and (d) What opportunities did the parents/guardians experience in terms of providing a nutritious diet during the pandemic? The sample consisted of Caucasian mothers (N=14) who self-identified as having children 3-5 years of age who attended a preschool program during the pandemic from March 2020 through September 2021. The analysis of the interview data suggested an overarching theme and five related key themes, along with three unexpected findings. The overarching theme was that all mothers know what a nutritious diet is. The five key themes were (a) Healthy diet, (b) Community resources, (c) Supply issue (challenges), (d) Home meals, and (e) Fear. By gaining an understanding of parents' experience and their needs, healthcare professionals have the potential to address their need for education on healthy food and advocate for school and community programs that expose children to healthy food choices.
