Description: Nutrition standards for child care across all age groups prioritize the safety of children by setting guidelines for safe food handling and preparation, as well as preventing potential allergens from being served. These standards ensure that #child-care providers implement appropriate foods and portion sizes. Additionally, #nutrition standards address the specific #dietary-needs of children at different ages, promoting a balanced diet that includes essential nutrients for healthy growth and #child-development. This resource, developed by #MSDE, is a document #teachers and #providers can use to plan meals and snacks for the children under their care.
