Welcome

As a child care provider, you have an important role in children's lives by helping them learn and grow. As a Child Care Food Program provider, you help children get the nourishment and energy they need to learn and grow by providing healthy meals. In addition, preschoolers who eat a variety of healthy foods and play actively several times every day are less likely to be overweight or obese. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, Early Childhood Obesity Prevention Policies, recommends that for children ages

2-5 child care centers: 1) provide healthy meals and snacks that meet the Dietary

Guidelines, 2) serve meals family-style to be responsive to children's hunger and fullness cues, and 3) teach children about healthy eating and physical activity. This workshop will show how you can easily and effectively implement these "best practices" for providing healthy meals and promoting healthy eating in your child care facility.
