Free Technical Assistance for Childcare Providers

We can help you!

Here are some examples of FREE technical assistance in regards to nutrition and wellness.

Nutrition and Physical Activity Wellness Policies

After completing a self-assessment of current nutrition and physical activity practices, staff will assist providers in creating nutrition and physical activity policies that align with national best practices as a guide. This policy will act as a tool and resource for communication with families.

Menu Review

Upon review of current menus and in accordance of the USDA CACFP Guidelines suggestions for healthier and cost-effective menu options will be made to insure that children are receiving a variety of foods from all food groups as well as a balance of nutrients to foster healthy development.
