New CFPA Policy Brief: High Impact Nutrition Standards in Family Child Care Homes

CFPA recently released a policy brief introducing high impact nutrition standards that account for the practical realities faced by licensed Family Child Care Home (FCCH) providers. The nutrition standards were developed in partnership with the University of California's Nutrition Policy Institute (NPI). A pilot of the standards will occur over the next year in licensed FCCHs to measure their effectiveness at enhancing the quality of nutrition, feasibility of use by providers, and their suitability for regional or state policy.
