This Child Care Meal Quality Forum will focus on enhancing the nutrition environment of early child care programs through improved food preparation and service using the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Child and Adult Care Food Program Meal Pattern.

Preschool teachers and family child care providers participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program are eligible to attend the forum. Participants will learn about healthy menu planning, food purchasing, food preparation, and safety; as well as a variety of recipes and techniques to help with creating meals that bolster health and wellness for children.

Cal-Pro-Net, a project of WestEd’s Center for Child & Family Studies, is coordinating and facilitating Nutrition and Physical Activity Forums for the Nutrition Services Department, California Department of Education. Cal-Pro-Net is part of a USDA Initiative.
