Family-Friendly Restaurants

Whole Child Leon is joining with local and national partners who are working hard to promote healthy lifestyles in families of young children and keeping young diners safe. We hope that your business will want to be a part of this effort by becoming a Family-Friendly Restaurant. Designated restaurants will be presented with a “Family-Friendly Restaurant” window cling, will be listed on this webpage and will be promoted through the Whole Child Leon newsletter and TLHMoms.com.

Congratulations to Red Elephant, the first restaurant to receive our Family-Friendly Restaurant Designation!!!
